Scenographer Lello Esposito lives and works between Naples and New York. His art focuses on the city of Naples and its symbols - Pulcinella, the mask, the egg, the skull, the volcano, the horse, San Gennaro and the horn - in their various stages of metamorphosis.?? In his larger-than-life canvases, he uses basic techniques of abstract expressionism but incorporates into his composition old and new symbols of the city, challenging the interpretation of tradition. He considers himself primarily a sculptor and his three dimensional work encompasses icons and stereotypes of Italian popular culture with messages of life and happiness. His installation "Innocente Italia" was exhibited at Biennial of Venice 2011. His work is well known in Italy and abroad; he has had more than 40 solo exhibitions over 30 years.
