The Art Stations:Vanvitelli
|
|
Planned by the architect Michele Capobianco and opened to the public in 1993, Vanvitelli station was restyled between 2004 and 2005 (thanks to Lorenzo and Michel Capobianco, as well as the artistic advice of Achille Bonito Oliva), renovating the station’s large interior in order to house works by eight masters of modern art, thus creating the seventh art station on line 1.
Luminous internal spaces are characterised by careful and sensible use of colours, ranging from blue to yellow, from lilac to various shades of grey.
The dazzling entrance hall features a work by Giulio Paolini, a giant boulder that appears to be on the verge of shattering its transparent enclosure. The two lateral corridors house on one side the long stripe by Vettor Pisani- an enigmatic and suggestive synthesis of images from differents epochs and styles- and on the other side photographs of the architecture of the city of Naples by Gabirele Basilico and Olivo Barbieri.
