Nicola Samori
Nicola Samorì (born 1977) is an Italian painter and poet.[1]
Life[edit]
Samorì was born in 1977 in Forlì.[2][3][4] He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna[citation needed] and currently lives and works in Bagnacavallo.[2]
Career[edit]
Samorì is known for his contemporary interpretations of 16th and 17th century European artworks, although he makes also frequent references to older art styles.[5] His work is best described as dark and baroque, with canvases often damaged by scraping, diluting, slashing, and tearing.[6][7] Referring to his physical manipulation of the painting surface, R.C. Baker of the Village Voice said that "Samorì's rereadings of old master oils are a revelation".[8]
Exhibitions[edit]
Samorì's work was a part of the Italian Pavilion at the 2015 Venice Biennale.[9][10]
Collections[edit]
Samorì's work is included in the Taylor Art Collection in Denver, Colorado[11] as well as other numerous private collections internationally.
