The ThINC Gallery will be showing specifically the Campeggi work related to the film classic, Ben Hur.
The Everson Museum is showing pieces from what is known as his "transition" period, in the early '70s, after his main work with Hollywood came to an end. Television was starting to replace moviegoing. Movie studios were also turning to different styles of design as computers literally entered the picture. Campeggi was then released by the studios and felt very lost. He and his family used to vacation in the island of Elba, where he moved to at that time and during those days, his work was influenced by the nature around him, the colorings, shapes and sandy landscapes... He was trying to redefine himself as an artist. He had a show of this work and some of his major critics questioned the new style rather severely.
Eventually, this evolved into what Campeggi is doing today, which somehow
combines styles and themes from his life-long career. The Redhouse will be showing his more contemporary work.
