A temporary art exhibition curated by Biancamaria Santangelo, interior designer and Nabi’s art director. Nabi Interior Design represents the stage for four Campania-born artists who interpret Naples to express the city’s cultural and social openness. Starting from the atelier of the Scuotto brothers: Emanuele uses terracotta to illustrate the Neapolitan tradition and the fear of the future; MoraleS, aka Salvatore Scuotto, makes contemporariness burst through characters with cartoon-like features.
