About the show

Secci Gallery is pleased to announce the launch of its Residency program, showcasing a pioneering body of unreleased pieces by the artist Sebastiano Sofia, on 2 March 2023, in the Florentine venue, located in Piazza Carlo Goldoni 2. The show will run until 22 April 2023.

Sebastiano Sofia’s works are deeply connected to his personal iconographic universe, where human body, nature, and everyday objects get in contact and build a dialogue. His melancholic poetry is aimed to investigate dichotomies and contrasts between genders, humans and animals, the body as a place of sense as well as a space for irrationality. The imagery is not just the reproduction of a memory, but rather of a sensorial and tactile memory, activated in relation to the outside world. This path generates an anthropomorphic aesthetic without a precise identity.

His practice is truly personal, meditative, enclosed within his own experience. What the artist invites us to observe “are ‘landscapes’ that I keep within myself, as the pages of diary. A photo album of both living and inner memories, a mixture of vision and movement”.

Sebastiano Sofia (Verona, 1986) vive e lavora tra Verona e Milano. Ha partecipato a varie residenze d’artista tra cui: Viafarini in residence (Milano) nel 2013, Bevilacqua La Masa (Venezia) nel 2015, Maraya Art Center (Sharjah, UAE) nel 2018, Collezione Palmieri nel 2021 e Collezione De Iorio nel 2021/2022. Tra le mostre personale si segnalano nel 2022 Marèa presso la Boccanera Gallery di Milano con un testo di Alessandro Rabottini, nel 2019 Anemone presso Palazzo Monti di Brescia con un testo di Denis Isaia, nel 2018 Remember me, a cura di Laura Metzler presso il Maraya Art Center di Sharjah (UAE), nel 2017 Natural Metamorphosis presso la Fatma Lootah Gallery di Dubai (UAE), e nel 2016 Ariel presso CAR Drde di Bologna.
