Defined as the Damien Hirst of his time, ACP - Palazzo Franchetti by Fondazione Calarota,  under the patronage of the British Embassy in Rome, hosts the exhibition dedicated to  Graham Sutherland, one of the greatest innovators of contemporary British painting.  

Curated by Roberta Perazzini Calarota, the show explores some of the artist's most cherished  themes—nature, with its lush green landscapes and the animal world—through a selection of  important oil paintings, watercolors, and meticulously chosen lithographs from the artist's most  renowned cycles, including the famous "The Bestiary". Always balancing between reality and  imagination, Sutherland’s enigmatic creations align with surrealism and immerse us in what  Francesco Arcangeli described as a “magical unease,” characterized by allusive metamorphoses  and the tension of opposing forces. These forces, in their perpetually unstable equilibrium, create a  “mystery” whose resolution we will never know.
