Among the special projects at NOMAD Capri, Marco Voena and Cy Schnabel presented four paintings from Julian Schnabel’s Capri Paintings series. Significantly, this is also the first time these particular works are being shown on the island which served as their initial inspiration, adding a site-specific character to this installation. Every paradise, even the sunniest, has a dark, opaque side. This series of works created on Capri between 2008 and 2009, recounts the island’s most restless and mysterious sides.... What the viewer encounters are fleeting forms that symbolize our transient nature as human beings. A blink of an eye in the history of mankind. Added to this layering of visual information, is a passage in red ink by Rilke written in Italian, “Ogni Angelo Ha II Suo Lato Spaventoso” (Every angel has his terrifying side). @robilantvoenagallery @villamagdalena33 Ph. @florianifederico @mattiaparodi @piergiorgiosorgetti
