In these last years, he showed principally in NY city and in various galleries and museums around the States, Italy and Norway, but also in India as well as Germany, Holland and other European countries. He participated with an installation of paintings and sculptures as a representative of the Italian Pavillion at the 2009 Venice Biennale. Since 2011, Nicola Verlato has been living and working in Los Angeles.

“My work is about bodies and narrative and so forth, about mythologies, specifically mythologies of our time. I like to gather visual information about these phenomena and combine them together in a new and more complex kind of representation, a very finished painting in which all the information is organized in a coherent and structured way. This is thanks to a very articulated process that passes through drawing, three dimensional models in clay, 3D software and finally painting.” – Nicola Verlato (Art Pulse Magazine)
