Dedication to Barbara Rose: I would like to quote Barbara Rose's words state the artists.
... The art of Longobardi is deeply rooted in the long history and tradition of Naples, a city where beauty has always faced death, a city which despite being located in front of a magnificent sea, is potentially dangerous due to the threatening presence of the Vesuvius.
Constantly threatened by natural destruction, in the form of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or unpredictable storms, Naples is a city that symbolizes the modern existential situation of living on the edge.
Barbara Rose
Nino Longobardi's research is expressed through an essential and rigorous trait, using different techniques - from drawing to painting and sculpture, also conceived as an installation solution - to bring out forms, such as the human figure, which float suspended in the painful contradictions of History and Nature.
He nourished his education as an autodidact especially by spending time with artists, critics, gallerists, among which Carlo Alfano and Joseph Beuys. His encounter in 1968 with Lucio Amelio led to a personal and professional partnership that would continue until the gallerist’s death in 1994. After showing his work in 1978 at the studio of Gianni Pisani, Longobardi developed a pictorial and figurative research in which the human figure becomes the prevalent form, built up with a strongly expressive sign in pencil and charcoal.
