Overview
Enzo Fiore, Genesis: Legends of History, Rome

At the Vittoriano Complex, the renowned icons of the 20th century such as Marilyn Monroe, Jimmy Hendrix, Andy Warhol, Salvador Dalì, Gandhi, Pierpaolo Pasolini, and Maria Callas come to life once again through the captivating portraits created by Enzo Fiore. This extraordinary exhibition, curated by Achille Bonito Oliva, provides a comprehensive view of the work of the Milanese artist.

The display titled 'Genesis: Myths of History' presents a collection of sculptures and seventy portraits dedicated to the illustrious figures of the past century, spanning from the realms of art to music, from cinema to literature. The artist employs an exceptionally unique technique that emphasizes a deep connection with nature: utilizing elements such as moss, roots, earth, stones, internal animal parts, resin, and cement. This amalgamation of materials creates shapes that hover between reality and fantasy, transporting viewers into a captivating and extraordinary world.
