Galleria Umberto Di Marino

Galleria Umberto Di Marino The Galleria Umberto Di Marino opened in 1994 in Giugliano. A oggi la galleria vanta una gestione interamente famigliare.

From the start, it focused on the coexistence between artistic language and troubled suburbs like those of Naples. The aim of this first experiment was to create a place that garnered interest and participation, firstly for the gallery’s circle of contacts and then for the entire community. Over the years, Galleria Umberto Di Marino has put greater emphasis on its spirit of research, directing its

interest towards an analysis of the relationship between architecture, nature, anthropology and alternative lifestyles. To date, the gallery is proud of being managed exclusively by family members.

La Galleria Umberto Di Marino inizia la sua attività nel 1994 a Giugliano, concentrando da subito la propria attenzione sulla coesistenza tra il linguaggio artistico e una periferia difficile come quella napoletana. L’obiettivo di questa prima esperienza è dare vita a un luogo di interesse e di partecipazione, prima per la propria cerchia di contatti e successivamente per l’intera comunità. La sua programmazione prevede la regolare alternanza di mostre di giovani artisti italiani e internazionali. Nel corso degli anni, la Galleria Umberto Di Marino ha rafforzato il proprio spirito di ricerca, indirizzando il suo interesse verso un’analisi del rapporto tra architettura, natura, antropologia e stili di vita alternativi. Uno sguardo attento al territorio e il supporto delle istituzioni ha permesso la realizzazione di numerose mostre off-site in luoghi storici della città di Napoli.

On the special occasion of 2026, the gallery will also be open today until 1 PM. Come and discover Isadora Neves Marques’ project “Love in the Paleolithic” at Casa Di Marino.

What follows is a text written by the artist:
Some years ago, I found out that one of the oldest-known s*xual representations in art history is in my home country. Found in the remote Côa valley in the north of Portugal, at the border with Spain, among rock drawings of horses and other animals, there is a Paleolithic image of a man having s*x with a bull. It is very rare to see representations of human figures in the Paleolithic, much less in a s*x scene. I visited the drawing last year, at night under a full moon, with the help of an archaeologist. We had to walk across high grass along a stream, the water rippling melancholically in our ears, avoi- ding tics that tried to jump on us. The moon shone so bright that we could see the valley with naked eyes. Past some low hanging trees, the archaeologist pointed his flashlight at a boulder, and there it was: a large bull, perfectly drawn in a realistic style, and on top of it the drawing of man, mouth open, enormous phallus, with an expressive, straightforward line for the ej*******on and several wavy line over his head, which the archaeologist interpreted as or**sm or the man’s spirit leaving the body. The rock drawing might be dated to 35.000 years ago, but I think we all know that feeling, right?

23/05/2026

The gallery is officially open. Today, from 11 am to 7 pm come and visit Guendalina Cerruti first solo show with us titled Guendalina malatesta.

For the occasion, the artist presents a new series of sculptural, environmental, and wall-based works developed around a precise tension: that between creative potential and constraint, between an imagination spiraling vertiginously inward upon itself and a reality that seeks to compress it. Metal meshes, golden threads, and hundreds of butterflies recur insistently according to a logic that borders on obsession, yet is rooted in a slow and disciplined practice.

Isadora Neves Marques (Lisbon, 1984) is a filmmaker, artist, and writer whose work explores intimacy, ecology, technology, gender, and s*xuality through speculative narratives and science fiction. She represented Portugal at the 59th Venice Biennale (2022) and has exhibited internationally at institutions including Palais de Tokyo, Tate Film, Castello di Rivoli, SculptureCenter, and Pérez Art Museum Miami. Collaborating with Galleria Umberto Di Marino since 2010, she has presented four solo exhibitions and numerous special projects and screenings at major international film festivals, including Cannes, TIFF, and NYFF.

We are delighted to announce our upcoming exhibition at the gallery. On Saturday, 23 May 2026, from 11 am to 7 pm, we will open Guendalina malatesta, the first solo exhibition in Naples by Guendalina Cerruti.

On the occasion of the Napoli Gallery Weekend, the exhibition will also be open to the public on Friday, 22 May, from 11 am to 7 pm, and on Sunday, 24 May, from 10 am to 1 pm

Challenging dominant conceptions of artistic value, Cerruti’s works embody a playful, DIY aesthetic, transforming decoration from a superfluous gesture into an expression of resilience. Her practice reflects on the relationship between objects and the hand, drawing from pre-industrial production, childhood imagination, and forms of female labour. Inspired by Susan Stewart’s definition of the miniature as an “exaggeration of interiority,” the artist conceives her works as emblems of the self — a life within life. Drawing from youthful aesthetics and the spirit of adolescence, Cerruti’s sculptures channel a desire for emancipation and self-expression, subverting contemporary tendencies toward cultural and intellectual conformity. Through an exploration of youth and popular culture, her work examines the tension between alienation and belonging, where fragility, intimacy, and emotional turbulence become central elements of her visual language.

[Focus on the works]

Diego Perrone
Senza Titolo
2025
ballpoint pen on paper
cm 180 x 130

In Diego Perrone’s work, the red ballpoint pen becomes a device for the slow, obsessive construction of the image, where the line is never a simple trace but accumulation, density, visual matter. On the white surface of the paper, the artist builds with regular and precise wrist movements a dense and rapid network of continuous marks. The ink, initially perceived as light and almost transparent, gradually thickens through the insistent layering of lines, turning the surface into a vibrant and unstable visual field. Perrone notes how red is a “transparent” colour, a quality that allows him to work through successive stratifications, bringing drawing closer to a sculptural logic: not representation, but construction through accumulation.

With the persistence of the gesture, the stains and graphic textures tend to condense into zones of depth and internal tension, where the line loses its lightness and becomes mass. In some cases, this continuous build-up generates ambiguous, almost anthropomorphic forms, as if the image were emerging autonomously from the drawing process itself. The result is a body of work balanced between control and loss of control, surface and depth, where the red biro becomes a tool for exploring the threshold between abstraction and figure, between gesture and the body of the image.
