N.081 - Palazzo Kimbo

Originally titled 016titled#012, Mary Cinque’s work is an acrylic on canvas depicting the building behind the statue of Garibaldi, located at the center of the busy square by the central station, the first view of the city for those arriving by train. A now historic building that, at first glance, seems no different from many others in Naples and its outskirts, except for the Kimbo sign on its roof, which has become inseparable from it over the decades. “The city and everything that composes it are a central part of my research. Signs, graffiti, advertising, they are all part of the landscape, part of the urban fabric.”
