ATHENA Painting

Emanuele Palermo is an emerging Italian artist, living in Milan. He has been creating paintings since his Art Studies. From 2012 to 2017, he has been part of the Art Duo Drill Monkeys, together with Alessandro Padovan. During that time, they exposed their works in different Galleries (in Italy and abroad), they also took part to public exhibitions and several auctions. Lately, while Alessandro started working independently, Emanuele has focused more on his design job, working for several design firms. Nevertheless, he kept alive his passion for Art. The artist is working on series projects: “series” refers to a collection of pieces of art that have a common theme, each on exploring different aesthetics and topics. Recognizability is often considered a desirable goal for painters, but at the same times it may become a limiting path that keeps the artist always on the same road. He mostly creates one-off pieces or very small editions.
