Renato D’Agostin – Photographer

RENOWNED FOR DISTILLING URBAN COMPLEXITY INTO STARK, LUMINOUS COMPOSITIONS, THE VENICE-BORN ARTIST HAS EXHIBITED INTERNATIONALLY AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, THE PHILLIPS COLLECTION, BIBLIOTHÈQUE NATIONALE DE FRANCE, LACMA, AND THE INTERNATIONAL CENTER OF PHOTOGRAPHY.

AFTER 13 YEARS IN NEW YORK — WHERE HE WORKED ALONGSIDE RALPH GIBSON — D’AGOSTIN RETURNED TO VENICE IN 2018, ESTABLISHING HIS STUDIO IN A WAREHOUSE ON THE CITY’S OUTSKIRTS.

AT THE VENICE VENICE HOTEL, HIS WORKS DEFINE BOTH ROOM 25 AND THE SALON OF THE FIRST PIANO NOBILE.

Veni Etiam

MARKING THE ARTIST’S RETURN TO VENICE, VENI ETIAM REFRAMES THE CITY’S ARCHITECTURE AND NATURAL ELEMENTS THROUGH A SERIES OF PHOTOGRAPHS DISPLAYED IN ROOM 25 AND ON THE FIRST PIANO NOBILE OF THE HOTEL.

CREATED IN 2021, DURING THE STILLNESS OF THE PANDEMIC, THE SERIES OBSERVES VENICE IN A STATE OF RARE SUSPENSION: WATER, STONE, LIGHT, AND FORM HELD BETWEEN CHANGE AND PERMANENCE.

SELECT WORKS FROM THE COLLECTION, REALIZED AS SCREEN PRINTS BY THE RENOWNED FALLANI VENEZIA WORKSHOP, ARE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT VENICE M’ART.

Veni Etiam Loft Experience

ROOM 25 EXTENDS D’AGOSTIN’S WORLD INTO THE GUEST’S STAY. THROUGH THE VENI ETIAM LOFT EXPERIENCE, GUESTS MAY USE ONE OF THE ARTIST’S CAMERAS, COMPLETE WITH A ROLL OF BLACK AND WHITE FILM, TO CREATE THEIR OWN RECORD OF VENICE THROUGH HIS ARTISTIC LENS.
