GIAMPIERO NANNI AT 54 THE
GALLERY
Giampiero Nanni is an Italian-British
artist, living between London and
Antibes, with a previous international
career in technology. He will be
exhibiting his work in a solo exhibition
at 54 The Gallery, Mayfair, from
30 June – 6 July.
For the artist, painting is an attempt
to resolve the dispute between the
rational nature that guided his
professional career, and his inner artistic
character, eager to surface through
creativity. His work asks questions about
relations, mind, moods, vulnerabilities –
also via incursions into conceptual
atmospheres.
Giampiero’s work explores the
dialectic between forms and muscular
texture; between colours and the grey,
neutral, black/white paradigm – between
light and dull decay.
Nanni has exhibited in galleries and
art fairs in France and UK, including the
Affordable Art Fair.

SUMMER EXHIBITION 2025
The Royal Academy is to present the
257th Summer Exhibition at the Royal
Academy from 17 June to 17 August, a
unique celebration of contemporary art
and architecture, providing a vital
platform and support for the artistic
community. The majority of works will
be available to buy and sales will
directly support the exhibiting artists and
the RA’s charitable work, including
training the next generation of artists at
the Royal Academy Schools.
Internationally acclaimed architect
and Royal Academician Farshid
Moussavi has co-ordinated this year’s
Summer Exhibition and, with the
Summer Exhibition Committee, will
explore the theme of ‘Dialogues’.
Artists exhibiting work this year
include British artist Alice Channer,
whose dramatic 6m high installation of
ostrich feathers and steel chain will greet
visitors as they enter the exhibition.
Brazilian artist Antonio Tarsis will create
a work especially for the show
consisting of a 4.5m high and 7m wide
wall made from deconstructed
matchboxes.
Suspended works will be a theme that
continues throughout the exhibition;
hanging above visitors in the largest
gallery will be an installation of textile
carcasses by Argentine American artist
Tamara Kostianovsky.
In addition to the large number of
public submissions, Royal Academicians
will be showing works, including Rana
Begum, Frank Bowling, Grayson Perry,
Lubaina Himid, Cornelia Parker,
