Lui Shtini: Capo Testa

January 16, 2026 – February 28, 2026

Corbett vs. Dempsey, 2156 W. Fulton St, Chicago, IL 60612

With delight, Corbett vs. Dempsey presents Capo Testa , an exhibition of new sculptures and paintings by Lui Shtini. This is the artist's fourth solo show at CvsD. Inspired by a cape in Sardinia facing the Strait of Bonifacio, which Shtini has visited many times over the last ten years, Capo Testa is both a continuation and a point of departure. Shaped by sea and time, the cape's boulders have captivated Shtini for years, conjuring imaginary environments populated by their own personnages and producing unique narratives. These scenarios, imbued with a kind of beautiful desolation, have prompted a series of new large-scale paintings, two of which are featured here.
