Jannis Kounellis: Io Sono Un Pittore

Jannis Kounellis: Io Sono Un Pittore invites you to explore the artist’s work through his own bold statement, “I am a painter.” The exhibition covers over six decades of his career, presenting more than 35 pieces that reflect his unique approach to painting as a way of engaging with reality. Instead of following a strict timeline, the show arranges works to highlight recurring themes like materiality, memory, and silence. This approach encourages you to see connections across different periods and styles in Kounellis’s art. You’ll find the exhibition offers a thoughtful experience that goes beyond traditional painting displays. It’s a chance to consider how Kounellis uses materials and space to challenge what painting can be. Whether you’re familiar with his work or new to it, the show invites reflection on how art captures and holds meaning over time. It’s a quiet but compelling journey through an artist’s evolving vision.
