Mucciaccia Gallery  is pleased to announce “Three Different Minds” featuring international artists Nick Atkins, Auto Moai and Aki Yamamoto.

Despite their apparent stylistic difference, the three artists share their very own idea of

representing reality through their alter egos.

Nick Atkins, after a series of different animals used in his past productions, is now using cats as main subjects of his works.

Auto Moai is a ghost, or rather the ghost of something in which the artist sees an abstract part of the personality.

For Aki Yamamoto the umbrella is a depiction of himself, littered umbrellas are commonly seen in Japanese cities. Open umbrellas are caught by the wind and often fly away, on the other hand, when the umbrellas are closed, they become somehow forgotten in narrow spaces where they become some sort of ghosts, existing without anyone noticing. According to Yamamoto, umbrellas represent the ambiguity and instability of human existence.

Although they are three different minds, they self explore themselves through painting.
