Alfonso Coppola

Alfonso Coppola was born in Carinaro (CE) in 1948. He is in the permanent collection of the MAGMA Museum. He participated in the biennial in the Royal Palace of Caserta in 2004. In the '60s he attended the Artistic High School of Naples with renowned masters. He has been present on the national artistic scene for more than thirty years with important personal and collective exhibitions, privileging painting and sculpture and lately the ceramics.

Having the good fortune to enter his studio, one gets the impression of being in an old artisan workshop, where the eye cannot stop to focus on a single object because it is taken from the variety of works on display. Among gypsum, bronzes, oils on canvas, restoration works and bas-reliefs with valuable finishes, it can be admired in its varied technical capacity. And it is precisely this prerogative that characterizes him as an artist who has never sought shelter in the protective world of the informal, but has landed there through his personal inner and technical research.
