Blindarte announced the opening of The Fall by New York–based artist Adam Cvijanovic. The following week the gallery inaugurated The Guts of the Living in its Naples location on Via Caio Duilio 10. These shows followed Cvijanovic’s earlier solo exhibitions at Blindarte in 2009 and 2011 and his participation in the group exhibition The Golden Ass in 2013.

Cvijanovic, regarded as one of the most innovative figurative painters on the contemporary New York scene, presented new canvases and works made with his distinctive “portable murals”—large-scale paintings executed on Tyvek paper and installed directly on walls. Influenced by nineteenth-century American landscape painting, twentieth-century film techniques, and Renaissance frescoes, these portable murals transformed gallery spaces into immersive environments and could be reinstalled across different sites.

In The Fall, Cvijanovic recreated a narrative of a November walk through the New Jersey woods, where he and his wife Julia recalled a brief but intense trip to Capri in 2013. Alongside the paintings, visitors listened to a short text recorded by the artist, guiding them through a multisensory journey that shifted, like film, from American forests to the cliffs of Naples. Reflecting on memory, Cvijanovic emphasized its subjectivity, echoing Salman Rushdie and Marcel Proust: remembrance does not always align with reality, but it creates its own truth.
