Exhibition

Enzo Cucchi
At MAXXI

May 18th, 2023

Artist Enzo Cucchi's solo exhibition The Poet and the Magician officially opens on May 16 2023 at the MAXXI, the National Museum of 21st Century Arts, in Rome, Italy. 

Enzo Cucchi is one of the most prolific and innovative artists on the contemporary scene, a free thinker and countercurrent. His research is rooted in the written word and flourishes in a multitude of different signs, symbols and expressive languages. Like an alchemist, he bewitches and moulds matter; like a storyteller, he evokes stories, myths and places far away in time.

The more than two hundred works in the exhibition mark out an itinerary that is indivisible and full of surprises, a story told in scattered pages that refuses any chronological linearity and returns creativity in perpetual movement. Scattered everywhere, like traces in the gallery, monumental works, drawings, small bronzes, ceramics, graphics and artist’s books continually intercept the visitor’s gaze.
