23th February – 18th March 2023
The Artist Room is delighted to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by Leonardo Devito (b. Florence, 1997). This is the artist’s first exhibition in the United Kingdom and their first solo exhibition outside of Italy.
Combining autobiographical allegory with interests in religion and literature, Devito’s works are grounded in compelling narratives devised by the artist, often explored through sequences of paintings. The paintings in Piccolo Testamento [Small Testament] relay the story of an adolescent male youth’s hedonistic final days spent on the run in Italy.
