Diego Perrone “There’s a certain Slant of light” at Umberto Di Marino Gallery, Naples

Diego Perrone presents his first solo exhibition at Umberto Di Marino Gallery in Naples, titled "There’s a certain Slant of light." Taking its name from an Emily Dickinson poem, the show explores the concept of lateral, non-frontal light through a series of experimental works. The exhibition features Perrone’s signature technical mastery, including intricate glass sculptures and works on paper that manipulate transparency and shadow.

This exhibition marks a significant new collaboration between the prominent Italian artist and the Naples-based gallery. By engaging with Dickinson’s poetic meditation on light and internal weight, Perrone continues his career-long investigation into the physical properties of materials and the metaphysical qualities of perception, solidifying his position as a leading figure in contemporary Italian sculpture.
