Massimo D'Orta, For You, mixed media on canvas, 2007
SILVER Seller in Napoli, Italy
Massimo D'Orta was born in Naples in 1950, where he currently lives and works. An atypical character in contemporary art, he has been producing paintings for about 35 years, but exhibits very little. In fact, his public appearances are rare: it is as if his vision of making it was very similar to that of the Palaeolithic painter who made his graffiti in the darkest part of his cave not for an aesthetic purpose, but to satisfy a psychic need made within to soothe his fears and anxieties.
