He has also had solo exhibitions abroad in institutional spaces such as the Yu-Hsiu Museum of Art in Taiwan, the Neue Galerie in Gladbeck, the Center for Contemporary Art in Szczecin and the Kunsthalle in Tübingen. In recent years, he has had solo shows at Palazzo Fava, Bologna (2021) at the Mart in Trento and Rovereto (2020-21) at the Made in Cloister Foundation and at the MANN, the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (2020).
Samorì has taken part in the Venice Biennale twice (20). He also produces frescoes and sculptures. The artist paints on board or canvas, as well as surfaces like copper and semi-precious stones, incorporating these distinctive textures into his pieces. Perforating, scratching or literally peeling off the paint, either abruptly or with painstaking care, he gives rise to new images that are rooted in art history, but express modern torments in a contemporary language.
Samorì starts with meticulously produced copies of works by great masters, mostly from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, dominated by the encounter between light and shadow, which he then transforms, infusing them with the troubled spirit of our times.
