The exhibition titled Twelve Paintings showcases twelve works by American artist Max Xeno Karnig at Palazzo Vizzani Sanguinetti in Bologna, Italy, until July 31st. The artworks are painted on copper panels and derive inspiration from the historical Western European painting tradition. Karnig focuses on a formalized representation of desire, engaging viewers with a gaze that places the subject at a formally suspended distance within the frame. His composition techniques and processes are influenced by the idealized allegorical portraits of renowned painters such as Albrecht Dürer and Antonello da Messina.
