Gladstone is pleased to present Capricci, a presentation of works by Salvo (1947–2015). Throughout Salvo’s career, the artist pursued a spiritual connection with the world of antiquity and explored themes of temporality and materiality. Salvo’s practice evolved from provocative conceptual sculptures and political self-portraiture to ‘capricci’ paintings that were formative to his lifelong body of work. Salvo’s fascination by the marriage of architecture, archeological ruins, and landscapes into the mythological compositions of ‘capricci’ brought the past into conversation with the present. Foregrounding Salvo’s study of Greek and Roman ruins, columns, and landscapes, Capricci presents a selection of works spanning oil painting, pastel, ceramics, and works on paper, distilling remembered spaces and architectural motifs into a meditation on the passage of time.
