Erica Ravenna Gallery is pleased to announce the opening on Saturday, January 24th, of the solo exhibition Vincenzo Agnetti across infinite landscape possibility, in collaboration with the Agnetti Archive.

This exhibition is the first in a series of events that will take place throughout Italy, in private and institutional venues, for the entire year 2026 and part of 2027, on the occasion of the centenary of the artist’s birth ( September 1926).

The exhibition focuses in particular on a segment of Agnetti’s work from the final period of his career, in which the use of photography becomes a common denominator for different kinds of experimentation.
Photographic language is used by the artist as a trace, evidence, or record of an idea, a mental action, or a system. The landscapes are therefore possible landscapes, where the conceptual register and the recovery of the figurative element generate, to paraphrase the artist, “new things.”

In the Photo-Graffie series, Agnetti resumes his reflection on the relationship between art and technology, with reference to McLuhan’s media theories, while temporal reworking and ecological, political, and social critique form the core themes of the series Dopo le grandi manovre and Riserva di caccia. For Vincenzo Agnetti, photography is therefore not an end in itself, nor a tool for representing reality. Rather, it is a poetic expression, a conceptual means subordinate to thought and language: photography serves to think, not to show.

Two felt works, dated 1970, ideally open and close the exhibition path, condensing in the relationship between language and image the artist’s reflection on landscape.
