ABOUT

NP ArtLab is a project dedicated to the research and promotion of Contemporary art practices and aims to support and enhance emerging, mid-career and established artists. The program includes exhibitions conceived on the dialogue between different media of established and young artists belonging to the emerging contemporary art scene and takes place in two private spaces based in Padova. The project includes events, in-person and online, with cultural and commercial purposes in synergy and collaboration with other art professionals.

The initiative is conceived by Neri Pagnan (NP), enthusiastic collector and secondary art market’s dealer, who started collecting established artists of the twentieth century, and later Italian and international emerging artists. This action highlights how the two art markets , the established and the emerging one, are different but equally interconnected and how the works by young artists often look to the past, to masters of the Twentieth century ore refer to previous periods. In this sense, Np Art Lab tries to create and interpret the aesthetic and conceptual dialogue between artists of different generations using critic and curatorial supports.
