Congratulations are in order for Theo Triantafyllidis, recipient of the 2026 Frieze London Artist Award, presented for the first time in collaboration with Google Arts & Culture and co-commissioned with Forma.

This year’s award invited an artist to engage with advanced technologies, including AI, as a creative collaborator. Theo’s new commission, Feral Metaverse (Spider) (2026), a participatory installation part climbable sculpture, part live multiplayer game, will premiere at Frieze London, The Regent’s Park, 14–18 October 2026.

Our history with Theo goes back many years, from Pastoral in Florence (2019) to Radicalization Pipeline, the exhibition that inaugurated our NOVO project space in Milan (2021).

Theo Triantafyllidis is represented by The Breeder, Athens, and Meredith Rosen Gallery, New York.

SECCI | Claudio Cintoli
Collezione Lanfranchi
Curated by Daniela Ferraria

Focus on Volo radente, 1966
Acrilico su tela — Claudio Cintoli

In his diaries, Cintoli reflects on his creative process through a language borrowed from cinema, describing his work in terms of framing, editing, and sequences of shots unfolding across multiple visual planes. This approach is particularly relevant to the works of Volo Radente, where the composition appears to develop as a dynamic succession of viewpoints and perspectives.

Currently on view at SECCI, Milan (Via Olmetto 1) until July 31, 2026.

SECCI | Claudio Cintoli
Collezione Lanfranchi
Curated by Daniela Ferraria

Focus on Giant Step, 1966
Acrylic on canvas — Claudio Cintoli

Currently on view at SECCI, Milan (Via Olmetto 1) until July 31, 2026.

In Giant Step, Claudio Cintoli develops a highly distinctive painting technique that pushes the retinal decomposition of the image to an extreme, approaching the logic of photographic reproduction. The pictorial surface is built through the use of screens and layered textures that generate a visual effect reminiscent of American Pop Art.

Although Cintoli spent significant time in New York and absorbed the atmosphere of that cultural moment, his sensibility remained profoundly different. His approach to painting does not celebrate image consumption but rather investigates perception itself. The brushstroke fragments and the color dissolves the image, producing an effect that feels almost photographic.

Cintoli adopts the gaze of a cinematographer: it is as if he is searching for the perfect frame, capturing the subject under artificial light and suspending it in time. There is a palpable sense of stillness — a fleeting moment in which one almost hears the click of the camera shutter.

SECCI | Claudio Cintoli
Collezione Lanfranchi
Curated by Daniela Ferraria

A show dedicated to Claudio Cintoli is now on view at SECCI through July 31, 2026.

“Entering blind alleys, bursting out, climbing over hedges, overcoming obstacles, enduring violence and injustice, swallowing bitter pills, accumulating frustrations, dragging dead weights—all for a fixed obsession: to become oneself at any cost.”
This is how the artist describes his work.

The exhibition presents the work of Claudio Cintoli starting from the 1960s and 1970s, a period in which the artist expressed himself through multiple languages and a wide stylistic range, experimenting with different materials and disciplines: painting, sculpture, photography, and video, in which he takes on the role of a performer. He possesses a versatile talent and rejects all forms of conformity.

In his early trajectory, he fully inhabits his time, embodying it with great vital energy.

SECCI | Claudio Cintoli
Collezione Lanfranchi
Curated by Daniela Ferraria

A show dedicated to Claudio Cintoli is now on view at SECCI through July 31, 2026.

The exhibition presents the work of Claudio Cintoli beginning with the 1960s and 1970s, a period during which the artist expressed himself through multiple languages and a remarkable stylistic diversity, experimenting across materials and disciplines including painting, sculpture, photography, and video. Endowed with extraordinary talent and a deeply independent attitude, Cintoli consistently rejected any form of artistic homogenization.

Claudio Cintoli was a restless artist, constantly evolving. His versatility and his tendency to pursue different directions generated confusion among critics and the market during the 1970s; in response, he developed a strong resentment that concealed a profound and intimate sense of unease.

Today, with historical distance and a retrospective perspective, it becomes easier to reconsider his work within its natural evolution and irreducible expressive multiplicity.

Though constantly changing, Cintoli never became anything other than himself.

SECCI | Claudio Cintoli

In Primo Piano, Claudio Cintoli conceals a female anatomical detail within a marine landscape, letting it surface only gradually, like something the eye wasn’t prepared to find. The shock is quiet, almost tender. The sea becomes a body. The body becomes a horizon.

Painter, sculptor, performer, Cintoli moved fluidly between languages, and this work distills what made him singular: the ability to slip the erotic, the human, the subversive into the most ordinary of views.

We are thrilled to open our new exhibition, “Claudio Cintoli. Collezione Lanfranchi” curated by Daniela Ferraria, on May 27 at Via Olmetto 1, Milano, from 6 pm.
