On Wednesday 14 October 2026, at 6.30 pm, at the UNIX GALLERY in New York (195 Chrystie Street, New York, NY 10002), Tiziano Calcari’s solo exhibition, Paesaggi dell’Anima (Landscapes of the Soul), curated by the Milanese art critic Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico, will open.

The exhibition, organized by UNIX GALLERY in collaboration with the Ethicando Association of Milan, runs until 28 October 2026 and is sponsored by Enolgas Italia and Enolgas USA, as well as being promoted by Betting On Italy.

The exhibition features around twenty works by the Lombard artist, mainly from his most recent body of work, which are emblematic expressions of that concept of Sustainable Art in which his artistic research has found a fully-fledged theoretical and critical definition.

As curator Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico states, «Tiziano Calcari’s artistic practice finds its key to interpretation in Sustainable Art. His painting stems from a personal experience of coming to terms with mourning and transforms memory into a universal language, capable of reconciling the inner dimension with a sense of responsibility towards the world.

Through imaginary landscapes and figures suspended between reality and vision, the artist reconstructs the places of his memory, giving shape to a poetic universe permeated by a profound sense of universal love. His works invite the public to reflect on the value of human relationships, our relationship with nature, and the possibility of rediscovering a balance founded on empathy, generosity and sharing.

In Calcari’s view, sustainability is not limited to environmental or social issues but takes the form of a genuine journey of personal transformation. His artistic practice finds its place into the broader contemporary debate on sustainability, presenting art as a tool for human growth, reconciliation and cultural renewal».

The presentation of the exhibition in the American context takes on particular significance. The United States, in fact, represent a cultural environment that has historically been open to discussion on issues of sustainability, understood not only in its ecological dimension but also as a paradigm of social transformation, responsible relationships and personal growth. From this perspective, Calcari’s work finds a natural space for dialogue, as it proposes a conception of sustainable art based not merely on denunciation or the representation of environmental issues, but on the work’s capacity to generate awareness, empathy and inner change.

The encounter between the artist’s poetics and the American public thus becomes an opportunity to share a vision of sustainability understood as an overall balance between the individual, the community and the environment: a perspective in which art takes on the role of a tool for knowledge, care and human renewal.

UNIX Gallery in New York has fully grasped the artistic and cultural significance of the exhibition project, recognizing its innovative value and its ability to foster a dialogue between contemporary art, sustainability and aesthetic exploration.

To organize the exhibition, the gallery is collaborating with the Ethicando Association in Milan, an organization that has been active internationally for almost twenty years in promoting and disseminating Sustainable Art through an interdisciplinary approach based on the convergence of artistic culture, scientific research and social innovation.

The association operates through a cultural and technical-scientific platform, directed by Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico, which involves universities, institutions, and figures from the academic and professional worlds, promoting projects that explore the relationship between creativity, responsibility and sustainable development. This work has contributed to the development of a vision of art understood not merely as an aesthetic expression, but as a tool for knowledge, awareness-raising and individual and collective transformation.

The exhibition is sponsored by Enolgas, an Italian company with an international reach and a well- established presence in the United States, which stands as a shining example of the continuity between manufacturing tradition, technological innovation and a commitment to the principles of sustainability.

Founded in 1960 by the Bonomi family in the Brescia area of Italy, Enolgas began as a company specialising in the production of valves for the wine industry, the gas sector and industrial applications. As the company has evolved, it has progressively expanded and diversified its activities, establishing itself as a leading player in the design and manufacture of taps and valves for plumbing and heating systems, energy infrastructure and natural gas distribution networks.

Enolgas’s growth has been underpinned by a constant focus on quality, research and innovation – factors that have enabled the company to establish itself on international markets whilst maintaining strong roots in the Brescia area. The ability to combine technical expertise, reliable production and strategic vision is one of the defining features of its industrial identity.

At the heart of the company’s philosophy lies the recognition of people as its most valuable asset. The protection, training and development of human resources are, in fact, fundamental principles of an organisational model geared towards responsibility and shared growth. These values are complemented by a constant commitment to finding environmentally friendly production solutions, through process optimization, a focus on energy efficiency and responsible resource management.

The collaboration between Enolgas and Tiziano Calcari’s exhibition Paesaggi dell’anima (Landscapes of the Soul) therefore stems from a significant alignment of values. The company and the artist share a broad conception of sustainability, understood not solely as environmental protection, but as a dynamic balance between innovation, social responsibility, culture and the centrality of the human being.

From this perspective, Enolgas’s support for the exhibition project demonstrates the increasingly important role of contemporary businesses in promoting cultural initiatives capable of fostering awareness, dialogue and new forms of relationship between the economy, society and creativity.

The exhibition, curated by Paolo Calcari, the artist’s son, is a first step towards further initiatives on Sustainable Art, which will involve the United States.
