Angelo Accardi (born 1964) is an Italian artist.
Born in 1964 in Sapri, Campania, Italy, Accardi moved to Naples to study art at the Art Academy of Naples but did not complete his formal education, opting to establish his own studio in the early 1990s. [1] [2] [3]
Accardi's early work was focused on the human figure and abstraction. [1] By the late 1980s, he had shifted his attention to marble sculpture, drawing inspiration from Greek and Roman classics. [1] In the early 1990s, Accardi began incorporating social themes into his paintings. [1]
In 2006, Accardi joined the avant-garde group Tantarte and exhibited in Shanghai. [1]
In 2011, his work was recognized by art historian Marco Vallora, who selected him for inclusion in the 54th Venice Biennale. [1] [4] [5]
In 2018, Accardi's work, Misplaced, was exhibited at Eden Fine Art Mayfair in London. [6] [7]
Accardi's works are distributed internationally by Eden Gallery and since 2021, he has been working with the Deodato Art Gallery in Italy. [1] In 2022, his work, Nonsense Makes Sense, was exhibited at the Deodato Art Gallery. [1]
Accardi's artistic style is characterized by a blend of surreal and realistic elements, focusing on narrative and multiple interpretations. [1] [2] His paintings often incorporate elements from artists such as Klimt, Picasso, and Roy Lichtenstein. [6] These classical references are juxtaposed with figures from contemporary popular culture, including characters from Minions and Matt Groening's The Simpsons . [6]
In his early career, Accardi's work was influenced by what he refers to as the Italian "figura" tradition, emphasizing the human form, along with pictorial and symbolic elements. [2] His collections such as Human Collection, Misplaced, and Blend reflect his interest in the interaction between humans, space, and society. [2]
Savona is a seaport and comune in the west part of the northern Italian region of Liguria, capital of the Province of Savona, in the Riviera di Ponente on the Mediterranean Sea. Savona is the main center of the Italian Riviera.
Piero Manzoni di Chiosca e Poggiolo, better known as Piero Manzoni was an Italian artist best known for his ironic approach to avant-garde art. Often compared to the work of Yves Klein, his own work anticipated, and directly influenced, the work of a generation of younger Italian artists brought together by the critic Germano Celant in the first Arte Povera exhibition held in Genoa, 1967. Manzoni is most famous for a series of artworks that call into question the nature of the art object, directly prefiguring Conceptual Art. His work eschews normal artist's materials, instead using everything from rabbit fur to human excrement in order to "tap mythological sources and to realize authentic and universal values".
Arte Povera was an art movement that took place between the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s in major cities throughout Italy and above all in Turin. Other cities where the movement was also important are Milan, Rome, Genoa, Venice, Naples and Bologna. The term was coined by Italian art critic Germano Celant in 1967 and introduced in Italy during the period of upheaval at the end of the 1960s, when artists were taking a radical stance. Artists began attacking the values of established institutions of government, industry, and culture.
Museo di Capodimonte is an art museum located in the Palace of Capodimonte, a grand Bourbon palazzo in Naples, Italy designed by Giovanni Antonio Medrano.

It is one of the largest museums in Italy. The museum was inaugurated in 1957.
Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo was an Italian Divisionist painter. Pellizza was a pupil of Pio Sanquirico. He used a Divisionist technique in which a painting is created by juxtaposing small dots of paint according to a specific colour theory. Although he exhibited often, his work achieved popularity in death through their reproduction in socialist magazines and the acclaim they received from 20th-century art critics.
