TOTAH gallery in New York presents 'The Time That’s Left', a solo exhibition of works by Italian artist Tommaso Spazzini Villa, opening May 14, 2026. The show expands on his recent large-scale mural on West 45th Street in Hell’s Kitchen, moving from public space to an intimate gallery setting. It features graphite drawings traced across antique book pages—sacred texts, epic poetry, theatre scores—depicting root-like forms that challenge linear language, alongside metal box sculptures with wire, light, and dried leaves that create fleeting shadow dioramas.
The exhibition matters because it highlights Spazzini Villa’s growing international presence, following recognition in Exibart’s '222 Emerging Artists' list (2024) and acquisitions by institutions like the Philadelphia Museum of Art. By juxtaposing printed text with organic, branching drawings, the show raises questions about knowledge systems, visibility, and the hidden structures that sustain life—themes that resonate with contemporary discourse on ecology and perception. It also marks an important step for the artist’s career, being his first solo show at TOTAH.
