Nicola Samori (1977-) Born in Forlì on May 13, 1977, he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, and has exhibited since 1998 both in Italy and abroad. Nicola Samori is known for Mixed media painting, drawing. In recent years, he has had solo shows at Palazzo Fava, Bologna (2021) at the Mart in Trento and Rovereto (2020-21) at the Made in Cloister Foundation and at the MANN, the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (2020). Nicola Samori (Born 1977) is active/lives in Italy. Samorì has taken part in the Venice Biennale twice (20). He also produces frescoes and sculptures. The artist paints on board or canvas, as well as surfaces like copper and semi-precious stones, incorporating these distinctive textures into his pieces.

Through the shock caused by mutilating the surfaces of these copied Old Master images, or through the depicted subjects being brutally tortured, Samori deconstructs the idealism of ancient Greece and the Renaissance. Perforating, scratching or literally peeling off the paint, either abruptly or with painstaking care, he gives rise to new images that are rooted in art history, but express modern torments in a contemporary language. Nicola Samori is an Italian sculptor, painter, and printmaker whose melodramatic images are based on 17th-century neoclassicism. Samorì starts with meticulously produced copies of works by great masters, mostly from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, dominated by the encounter between light and shadow, which he then transforms, infusing them with the troubled spirit of our times.
