White Cube Hong Kong is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by Salvatore Emblema (1929–2006), marking the first solo presentation in Asia of works by the Italian artist. Born in 1929 in Terzigno, Naples, Emblema, with his singular focus on the qualities of light, space and transparency, diverged from his contemporaries in Italy’s post-war avant-garde. Inspired by the landscape of his upbringing – a volcanic red-zone on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius – Emblema worked predominantly with natural materials, extracting his pigments from soils, stones and agricultural materials.
