16 Artists on Show for <20 of 2026

PUNTO SULL’ARTE is proud to announce the inauguration of the XIII Edition of the highly anticipated collective exhibition <20 15×15/20×20, a much-awaited event showcasing small-format artworks that art collectors and enthusiasts have eagerly awaited. The VERNISSAGE will be held on SATURDAY, JUNE 20, from 11 AM to 1 PM at the main Gallery in Viale Sant’Antonio 59/61, Varese. Several artists will be present, providing a unique opportunity to engage with them and delve into their art.

The 2026 edition features an extraordinary group of 16 artists: Paolo CAMPA, Jessica CARROLL, Valentina DIENA, Claudio FILIPPINI, Jernej FORBICI, Pietro GERANZANI, L’orMa, Silvia LEVENSON, Nicola NANNINI, PAO, Joan PERIS, Mauro REGGIO, Tomàs SUNYOL, Pierantonio TANZOLA, Walter TRECCHI, and Alice ZANIN.

Both Italian and international artists have enthusiastically accepted the invitation from gallery owner Sofia Macchi for this much-anticipated exhibition. Painters and sculptors have embraced the challenge of working within diverse dimensions, each expressing their artistic vision without constraints of theme or technique.

Paolo CAMPA begins the journey with his floral compositions, where the delicacy of flowers symbolizes the fragility of life. His artworks invite reflection on the ephemeral beauty of nature, while Walter TRECCHI captures the grace of trees. His paintings, an intricate play of canopies and reflections, embody the elegance of landscapes, evoking a sense of serenity and wonder.

The theme of environmental respect emerges powerfully through the artworks of Jessica Carroll and Jernej Forbici. Carroll combines drawing with three-dimensional wax elements to give voice to often-overlooked forms of life, while Forbici explores humanity’s impact on the ecosystem, prompting necessary and profound reflection. Young artist Valentina Diena enriches the exhibition with her drawings inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, “The Flax.” Her intricately detailed works transport us to a magical realm, evoking nostalgia and wonder. Claudio Filippini offers an immersion into landscapes and collective memory through vinyl covers that have marked the history of music. His pieces serve as a bridge between past and present, evoking familiar memories and sensations. Pietro Geranzani draws inspiration from Wunderkammer, extracting symbols and content that he transposes through painting and drawing, reflecting on complex themes.

A significant highlight of the exhibition is L’orMa, the young Milanese sculptor who employs paper in astonishing ways. His works push the boundaries of material, transforming such a fragile medium into extraordinary creations. In contrast, PAO focuses on the limits of perception, presenting sculptures that challenge the laws of space and form, inviting unexpected interactions with the artwork. The city, with its myriad facets, recurs as a theme in the works of Nicola Nannini, Joan Peris, Mauro Reggio, and Tomàs Sunyol. Nannini offers us sweet Venetian sunsets, while Reggio captures glimpses of Rome, each with its unique atmosphere. Peris and Sunyol provide nearly abstract interpretations, creating horizons and streets that intertwine in a visual dialogue. The sculptures of Alice Zanin, with their exceptional technical execution, seem to bring to life creatures floating in the void, while the glass works of Silvia Levenson speak of hope and wonder, inviting viewers to look beyond the visible and dream. Finally, Pierantonio Tanzola surprises with pieces that evoke memories through photographic cuts, transforming fleeting moments into lasting fragments of memory.
