Olga Lepri

Eataly Art House – E.ART.H. presents, on the occasion of Art Verona 2023, a new exhibition project dedicated to the emerging Italian scene that focuses on contemporary painting through the work of nine young artists: Première, curated by Luca Beatrice.

Designed for the E.ART.H. Art Market, the collective exhibition brings together works by Mauro Baio (Lecco, 1991), Chiara Calore (Abano Terme, 1994), Matteo Capriotti (Giulianova, 1996), Andrea Ceddia (Rome, 1997), Lorenzo Ermini (Montevarchi, 1996), Olga Lepri (Moscow, 1997), Gloria Franzin (Treviso, 1999), Sofia Massalongo (Verona, 1998), Davide Serpetti (L’Aquila, 1990) and is open to the public from Friday 13 October 2023 to Sunday 31 March 2024, on the ground floor of Eataly Verona.

The approach of these artists, born between 1990 and 1999, between generations Y (Millennials) and Z, reflects the urgencies of our time and is structured in the light of the new technological, communicative and educational possibilities of recent decades and the levers that have grown as a result of the processes triggered in the 1960s.

Digital natives, familiar with the dynamics of the internet and instant communication, from television to social media, this group represents a generation of change, facing a completely new world.

The painters selected for this cross-section have experienced increasingly radical and sudden change, facing the economic crisis of 2008 and the recognition of an unbridled mixture of genres and languages. What emerges is a perspective that reveals a desire to test the most established visual strategies, while maintaining the pictorial surface as the preferred medium.
