Arte Genova 2026: "Ironico Onirico" meets "Mechalangelo"

From February 13th to 15th, the Blue Pavilion (Padiglione Blu) at the Fiera del Mare in Genoa returns as the heart of contemporary art for the 2026 edition of Arte Genova.

This year, Stand 232 will host a unique artistic dialogue between two distinct yet complementary visions: the poetics of Omar Tigrini and the robotic aesthetics of Giuseppe Suma.

Ironico Onirico: New Visions

Omar Tigrini presents the evolution of his renowned collection, Ironico Onirico. Through a selection of new works, Tigrini continues his investigation into daily life, using dreams and irony as magnifying glasses. His paintings are not merely escapes from reality, but subtle tools to analyze the contradictions and nuances of modern life through visual paradoxes.

Mechalangelo: Classics Reimagined

In the same exhibition space, Giuseppe Suma (aka aintext) brings the Mechalangelo project to life. Here, the steel giants of pop culture — the legendary "mechas" — invade the realm of the great classics of art history. It is a re-imagination project that blends the sacredness of past masters with technological and futuristic imagery, creating a high-impact visual short circuit.

We look forward to seeing you explore these two worlds at the Blue Pavilion, Stand 232.
