Nunzio Capece

I was born in Italy in 1954. In Naples in the 1970s, amid university life and social unrest, I worked as a cartoonist for trade union publications. In Potenza in the 1980s, I began my journey into color, with a figurative-realistic spirit. In 1996, back in Naples, I joined Esasperatismo, an artistic movement with which I participated in international events. In 2011, I settled in Basilicata and resumed sculpture, spending time with ceramicist friends.
I work only on commission, on funded projects of any nature and size. The rest of my time is spent contemplating, inventing, thinking, and teaching. I ignore all that is banal and mentally taxing.
I love living in Basilicata, where time and haste are strictly forbidden, and when I can, I celebrate events everywhere.
