The Bridge Art Exchange Building in Santa Monica opened a little over a month ago on December 12th in collaboration with the Bice Bugatti Club Italy, the solo exhibit of Franco Marrocco, professor and director of the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts of Brera in Milan. The earliest paintings by Marrocco actually belong to the late '70s and since then, the author has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions not only in Italy but also worldwide.

For Marrocco, this is a pleasant return to Los Angeles after the success of the previous exhibition, "Work on Paper", held in 2014 at the IIC and the BBAX that now is also dedicating a solo exhibit to make the public aware of his past and of his own existential experiences.
