A landmark presentation on the Amalfi Coast
Staged in the historic Torre di Cetara on the Amalfi Coast, Galassia unfolded across three levels of the medieval tower. The exhibition revealed Gounel’s renewed artistic language: square oil portraits marked by bold immediacy, dynamic brushwork, and chromatic intensity. Within the tower’s ancient stone walls and overlooking the sea, the works resonated with timeless movement and a subtle sense of mysticism.
