Massimo Campagna is a Neapolitan painter. His pictorial art was influenced by the shapes of Alberto Burri's "cellotex" and by the spiritual chromaticism of Anish Kapoor. In that period his works developed on large dimensions for a personal need to be physically inside the space of representation and to control the organization of forms through meditated and aware gestures. Over the years pop elements, images and writing have entered his painting, but always following an idea of "hyper-realistic abstractionism".
