On the occasion of the the traditional Pandoro & Panettone, CONTEMPORALIS presented the work of Marco Palmieri through a selection of artworks on view from December 2025 to March 2026. A convivial moment, held in the presence of the artist, inaugurated the exhibition. During the event, special panettoni were also presented, packaged in an artist-designed metal box – Limited Edition 2025, decorated with a motif conceived and created by Marco Palmieri himself.

In his work, Palmieri conducts an investigation into space, explored in its many dimensions through different series of works. Each series develops a spatial idea that is examined through the continuous mutation of its constituent elements. The use of color holds an equally strong and meaningful role in his research: it serves to highlight the variations of each element, considered as the bearer of a precise meaning. Seriality, moreover, allows these variations to unfold over time, much like the progression of a text. Themes return cyclically, and time becomes an integral part of the artistic experience.

Palmieri thus performs a kind of prosaic stripping bare of the scene: by removing filters and ornaments from the environment, he seeks to verify whether the core of what remains still retains a complete meaning. The use of watercolor, a technique outside of time, ultimately places the work within a dimension of continuous present.
