Manuel Di Chiara is an Italian painter born in Ischia in 1976. The artist works in Naples and his painting work is fueled by everything urban. | Between Neopop and Industrial | Manuel di Chiara graduated from the SS. Apostoli art school in Naples and then continued his studies at the Royal Neapolitan Academy of Fine Arts. His career alternates between commissioned works and exhibitions in national and international art galleries. His painting is between neo-pop and an "industrial" style, inspired by the works of American and northern European artists of the 20th century Urban painting | The common thread that runs through his works, which are painted almost exclusively in acrylic, is the urban theme. The series is about depicting different topics, but they always belong to the same universe: the city. The colors are bright, the brushstrokes decisive and the depiction of details is meticulous, at times almost photographic. His motifs range from iconic cars to architecture to harbor scenes. It is a modern painting that fits perfectly into the contemporary artistic context. | National recognition | Manuel Di Chiara has successfully exhibited in Italian, German, Swiss and North American art galleries.
