Alexi Worth Exhibition 'Vortici' Opens at Gallerie d’Italia - Naples

The upcoming exhibition, 'Vortici. Alexi Worth in Dialogue with Ancient Ceramics,' is set to open at the Gallerie d’Italia - Naples, a cultural hub supported by Intesa Sanpaolo. Running from April 3 to July 5, 2026, the show will juxtapose contemporary paintings by Alexi Worth with select ancient ceramics, exploring connections between disparate historical periods and artistic practices. Worth's work engages with themes that bridge contemporary art with archaeology and classical forms.

Alexi Worth, a painter whose work is represented by DC Moore Gallery, has received support from institutions such as the Guggenheim Foundation, the Tiffany Foundation, and the New England Foundation for the Arts. His practice often draws upon art history, reinterpreting historical forms through a contemporary lens. This exhibition marks a significant engagement with the archaeological collections present in Naples.

The 'Vortici' exhibition is part of Gallerie d’Italia's broader programming, which includes a focus on various artistic mediums and dialogues. While this particular exhibition highlights Worth's paintings in conversation with ceramics, the institution's venues in Milan and Turin also host diverse artistic projects, featuring artists like Gianni Berengo Gardin and Nick Brandt in other contexts, underscoring Intesa Sanpaolo's commitment to cultural discourse.
