salvatore fiorello
‘between days’

24 September - 25 October 2025

Salvatore Fiorello (b.1976) is a painter based in Hackney, East London. He was born in Cardiff, Wales, to an Italian father and British mother. After spending his early childhood in the Canary Islands and the Caribbean, he returned to the UK in the mid 1980s. He completed his BA in Birmingham in 1998 and MA in painting at the Royal College of Art in 2000. His first solo show ‘Small Hours’ was held at Blue Shop Gallery in 2024.

‘Between Days’ brings together a new body of paintings by Salvatore Fiorello, his second solo show with Blue Shop Gallery.
It is easy to feel a sense of solitude and introspection within Salvatore’s landscapes, spaces that are devoid of human presence, yet rich with emotional resonance. Through their luminous atmospheres, subtly layered colours, and an undercurrent of nostalgia, Salvatore invites us to engage more deeply with the natural world. His paintings ask us to notice the transient beauty in our surroundings - those fleeting, often-overlooked moments that risk vanishing. Attention to the materiality of painting underscores his work: the behavior of light, its shifting temperaments and elusive presence, is a constant thread. His preoccupation with the mystery of twilight, to the strange, in-between hour where day dissolves into night, capturing the ephemeral quality of that threshold.
