In February of 2026 I travelled from Los Angeles to Verona for exhibitions at Studio La Citta, and Deposito À. Over dinner, in Piazza San Zeno, Francesco Sutton and I agreed to a Solo exhibition in May that would consist of new paintings and the projection of my film project, Between Hope and Alameda, made in Los Angeles in collaboration with Heather Seybolt, and three portraits inspired by the film.
Traveling by train from Verona to Porto, where I have a studio, I stopped in Madrid to visit the Prado. After waiting on-line in the rain for an hour, fortunately shielded by an umbrella, the melancholia was overwhelming. I was aware that it was my brother’s birthday, the first since his death. Being under an umbrella in the rain turned out to be the perfect mise-en-scene for that day; tears blending with rainfall.
