🌴Paris Internationale 12e Édition 🌴
With NORA TURATO 💕
Galerie Gregor Staiger will present a new group of works on canvas and enamels in a solo presentation with Nora Turato at this year’s edition of Paris Internationale.
Our presentation in Paris is a progression of a new body of work first developed for a group exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart earlier this year and marking the artist’s first series of works on canvas. The large scale works directly continue the artist’s investigation of language, while medium and technique create a very different aesthetic.
The painstaking precision from the well known enamel works, which the artist also continues to make, give way to an alternate gesture. The sharp edges of custom
typefaces are replaced by just-about-legible phrases scrawled in oil stick in a loopy cursive and filling in areas with countless curlicues. Combining fragments of text with spontaneous and repetitive gestures, ideas appear
in different forms and variations across the surface, with words and lines overlapping, expanding, and accumulating. Through this process, language moves beyond its conventional function and becomes a physical presence, as if the advent of LLMs requires us to reassert our bodies. The works reflect the immediacy and urgency characteristic of Turato’s practice, while leaving space for ambiguity and multiple readings.
