Pictorial fantasy, long and happy activity of portraitist able to read the faces of many illustrious characters in the world of show business in an ironic way where never fails a deep interpretation of the human soul.
These are the pillars on which is born the exhibition of the artist Andrea Petrone, son of art of Neapolitan origins and Sanniti adoption, which will be hosted in one of the emblematic places of the Capri buen retiro star system since the times of ‘dolce vita’: La Canzone del Mare.
Right in this paradise, at the entrance of the lido, you can admire works and portraits of the artist.
He is well known for since his youth, following the footsteps of his uncle Tommaso Cascella in his studio in Pescara, he began to draw and portray his family, then training at the Institute of Art in Naples. Over time, refining the various techniques, he has painted many works and made a large number of portraits, many of which can be admired in this personal. Among the many, Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino up to our Christian De Sica, and Carlo Ancelotti. A posthumous tribute could not be missed to the extraordinary musician, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Lucio Dalla of whom a cordial friendship linked Petrone to the artist from Bologna: Dalla in fact wanted to entrust him with the beautiful cover for his first compilation entitled “Caro amico ti scrivo …” produced in November 2002 by BMG Ricordi.
And then again the portrait of President Aurelio De Laurentis, who visited his personal in Capri in June 2011, and who bought a work calling Petrone for an artistic collaboration with the team of Naples; the portrait of President Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, to which it liked very much visiting the 2012 personal always in Capri. Finally, the portraits of Madonna and Will Smith who have been on holiday on the island.
It is a journey through the journey, between the emotions aroused by the works to those of the air that you breathe in the bay of Marina Piccola, an exhibition not to be missed where the artist will be present in person in the place that could best marry with the many characters on display, being a sought-after destination of countless names in the world of entertainment and the star system.
