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.

SECCI is pleased to announce the opening of the upcoming exhibition titled “Claudio Cintoli: Collezione Lanfranchi”. The exhibition is curated by Daniela Ferrari, and will open on 27 May, from 6 pm, at our venue in via Olmetto 1, Milan.

The exhibition traces the multifaceted practice of Claudio Cintoli through a selection of works from the 1960s and 1970s drawn from the Luciano Lanfranchi Collection.

Spanning painting, sculpture, collage, photography, experimental film, and performance, the exhibition highlights the restless and deeply experimental nature of Cintoli’s artistic research.

Refusing any formal or stylistic homogenization, Cintoli developed a highly personal visual language in which surrealist imagery, cinematic vision, and conceptual tension coexist. From his “pictorial collages” and psychologically charged landscapes to his performative works and alter ego Marcanciel Stuprò, the exhibition reveals an artist constantly negotiating themes of duality, transformation, identity, and perception.

Marked by the influence of his years in New York while remaining profoundly distinct from American Pop Art, Cintoli’s work combines technical precision with emotional intensity, irony, and existential unease. Today, with historical distance, his practice emerges as one of the most singular and uncompromising voices of post-war Italian art.

The exhibition offers a focused retrospective perspective on Cintoli’s irreducible multiplicity and enduring relevance.

SECCI | Independent

Sneak peek of the solo presentation by Omar Mismar we presented at Independent New York 2026.

Alongside the new paintings on salvaged PVC banners, the booth also features mosaic works from Exercises in Ruins, a body of work through which Mismar reflects on conflict, disappearance, and the fragile persistence of memory. Translating found digital images into mosaic surfaces, the artist creates a tension between archaeology and contemporary media, between destruction and preservation.

SECCI | Independent

A closer look to one of the work from Root and Branches, a new series by Omar Mismar presented by SECCI at Independent New York 2026.

Created on salvaged PVC flex banners once used for advertising and marked by years of sun, rain, and exposure, the works carry surfaces that resemble landscapes, scars, scrolls, and shrouds. Across them emerge fragments of graffiti slogans tied to the 2019 protest movement in Lebanon - partially concealed beneath layers of paint, echoing acts of erasure and censorship in public space.

What remains is a fractured visual language: a palimpsest of obscured gestures, collective memory, and aspirations still simmering beneath the surface.

SECCI is pleased to announce its participation in the Independent Art Fair, taking place from May 8 to 11, 2026, in New York.

For this edition, SECCI will present a solo exhibition by Omar Mismar, featuring a selection of new works from the series Root and Branch.

Root and branch (شيل ما تخلّي) is a series of abstract paintings produced on salvaged PVC flex banners—materials originally used for advertising but has been exposed to years of sun, rain, and environmental wear. The weathered surfaces carry traces that evoke landscapes, scars, scrolls, and shrouds.

Across these grounds appear fragments of graffiti slogans associated with the 2019 protest movement in Lebanon, though they could belong almost anywhere. In the works, these texts are partially obscured through layers of paint, recalling the subsequent covering of protest writing on urban walls. The incomplete nature of these acts reveals a form of performative censorship that generates an unintended abstract visual language—one that flexes the authority of the state and reaffirms the status quo. But it is also a palimpsest of the stubborn and now vaguely legible aspirations and deliriums bubbling underneath the surface.

The gallery will be located at Booth 109.

SECCI | Again (Again)

A closer look at Bogdan Koshevoy’s work, where images emerge from spaces that seem to remember post-industrial architectures where time lingers. Forms appear, fade, and return, as if held in a continuous state of becoming.

During the opening days of the Biennale di Venezia, his works will be presented in Again (Again), alongside Daria Dmytrenko and Barbara Prenka, curated by Arnold Braho.
