Francesco Clemente : In-between - Robert Storr

This volume is dedicated to Francesco Clemente (Naples, 1952), one of the leading figures in contemporary Italian and international art. Featuring 70 works-including rarely exhibited pieces, previously unseen works, and new paintings-it explores his artistic practice from the late 1970s to the present day. Running throughout the exhibition is the idea of the in-between: a state of existing between worlds and dimensions, a recurring presence that lies at the heart of Clemente's work. A sense of transformation permeates the artist's imagery, unfolding through a continuous dialogue between the inner and outer worlds. Clemente's art reflects a cosmopolitan and experimental approach, moving freely between Western and Eastern cultures and traditions. His images explore themes of identity and the human condition-the self, the body, sexuality, spirituality, myth, and dreamlike landscapes-through a practice that resists a linear path, instead unfolding across multiple directions, media, and visual languages. Text in English and Italian.
