Galleria Michela Rizzo

Nel 2013 a questo si affianca una seconda sede, il piano terra di un edificio industriale, nella zona degli ex birrifici alla Giudecca.

Il programma della Galleria Michela Rizzo include mostre, partnership con importanti istituzioni italiane e straniere e collaborazioni con artisti e curatori emergenti e affermati. Nel 2004 a Venezia, in un piccolo spazio espositivo, apre la Galleria Michela Rizzo con l’intento di ravvivare la scena culturale relativa all’arte contemporanea, in una città dove si sentiva la necessità di gallerie ch

e non fossero di natura prettamente commerciale. Già all’inizio del 2008 la galleria si sposta in un ambiente più grande e fascinoso, al primo piano di Palazzo Palumbo Fossati, un bellissimo edificio veneziano del ‘500, dove resterà fino al 2014. Spazio che, nell’aprile 2014, diventa la sede definitiva della galleria. Negli anni, la Galleria Michela Rizzo ha portato avanti un’attività espositiva di alto profilo alternando virtuose collaborazioni con importanti artisti internazionali a quelle di giovani emergenti.

A gallery of drawings from the late 1940s and the very early 1950s depicts Christ crucified and engages with the colourful, expressionist-style drawings of the 1980s, all of the latter belonging to the body of work known as Apocalypse. Here and there, some drawings bear the number 21, a number associated with the mystical visions which the artist has only hinted at without revealing them, a figure that will often recur within the folds of his work. Among these, in the centre, stands a wooden sculpture of a crucified Christ, entitled Arte e mondanità, 1985, with a face reminiscent of a Demoiselle d’Avignon and wearing an elegant tailcoat.
While on the one hand the work represents the avant-garde, scorned by the political system and the world, on the other it foreshadows the coming of God incarnate in history.

We are pleased to announce that Fondazione MIA is inaugurating Luoghi comuni, an exhibition curated by Corrado Benigni and dedicated to Francesco Jodice, held at the Astino Monastery in Bergamo.

As one of the most innovative figures on the Italian art scene, Jodice uses imagery to offer a political interpretation of the landscape on a global scale. The exhibition looks back at years of research centered on Italy, viewed as a symbolic territory of contemporary transformations, memory, identity, and collective changes. For this occasion, the artist has also created a site-specific installation from The Room project, creating a dialogue with Astino’s architecture through the pages of the newspaper “L’Eco di Bergamo”. This visual journey invites the public to consider the landscape not just as a physical space, but as a profound political, cultural, and human experience.

Andrea Mastrovito is now on view at MAXXI Museum in Rome as part of the group exhibition Creature, Creatori. San Francesco e l’arte contemporanea, curated by Beatrice Buscaroli.

The exhibition offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the figure and thought of St. Francis, moving beyond iconography to explore his vision of the world: a gaze rooted in nature, ethics, humanity, and the relationship between all living beings. Inspired by the Canticle of the Creatures, the show reflects on St. Francis’s thought as both the origin of our relationship with the world and a primary impulse of artistic creation.
Bringing together works from the MAXXI Collection alongside specially commissioned pieces, the exhibition creates a dialogue between artists, symbols, figures, and nature, re-reading Italian art from the post-war period to the present through a Franciscan perspective.

On view until September at MAXXI, Rome.

Featured artists: Stefano Arienti, Jacopo Benassi, Vasco Bendini, Luca Bertolo, Bertozzi & Casoni, Lorenzo Bonechi, Alberto Burri, Paolo Canevari, Chiara Calore, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Chiara Camoni, Marco Cingolani, Antonio Del Donno, Aron Demetz, Fulvio Di Piazza, Bruna Esposito, Mario Giacomelli, Maria Lai, Piero Manzoni, Andrea Mastrovito, Giorgio Morandi, Ennio Morlotti, Alessandro Pessoli, Davide Rivalta, Flavia Rossi, Nicola Samorì, Germano Sartelli, Mario Schifano ed Ettore Spalletti.

Maurizio Pellegrin
The Lost Portraits 1990 - 2025

May 22 – September 5, 2026

Opening: Friday, May 22, 2026, 6 p.m.
Marignana Arte Dorsoduro 141, Rio Terà dei Catecumeni, Venice

Galleria Michela Rizzo is pleased to announce the solo exhibition The Lost Portraits 1990 - 2025 by Maurizio Pellegrin at Marignana Arte, opening to the public on Friday, May 22, 2026, at the gallery’s main venue. The exhibition is part of an ongoing collaboration with the artist, initiated in 2015 and developed over time through a series of exhibition projects.
Within Pellegrin’s work—spanning more than four decades of research—the portrait emerges as a constant yet unstable presence: at times evident, at others fragmentary, often embedded within more complex structures. It never appears as an autonomous or definitive image, but rather as a trace surfacing through paintings, photographs, objects, and surfaces, shaping a layered reflection on the human condition.

✨ In the heart of the Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore, Barry X Ball’s “The Shape of Time” exhibition is a must-see! It is a path that merges digital technology with the classical tradition of spatial sculpture through the use of innovative materials and forms, exploring the idea of transformation: time is not linear, but a shape that Barry X Ball molds at will.
