SECCI | José Carlos Martinat

Now Nation, 2026 — José Carlos Martinat

In Now Nation (2026), Martinat lifts a fragment of the city and brings it indoors — not an image of a wall, but the wall itself.

Since the Peruvian presidential elections of 2021, he has developed a gesture of extraction and translation — the wall extractions — performed on real walls in Peru and Venezuela, where walls are not simply structural elements but vehicles of popular expression, screens for propaganda, residues of an ongoing state of emergency. A Peruvian Red Cross logo lifted from an abandoned building recalls a country inflamed by organised crime and shaken by uprisings against the new government. A graffito of a large watermelon, nodding to Peruvian agriculture, becomes the backdrop for how the country’s political polarisation shapes readings of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Transferred into the space of art as witnesses to institutional disintegration, these fragments — surfaces laden with writing, colour, slogans and erasures — do not turn neutral. They become devices of memory, urban archaeologies and ruins of the present, pressing against the boundaries between public and private, legitimate and subversive.

José Carlos Martinat (b. 1974, Lima) lives and works in Lima.

26/09/2026

SECCI Gallery is pleased to announce Ruinophilia, José Carlos Martinat’s first solo exhibition in Italy, now open to the public and on view through November 21, 2026.

The exhibition marks the third chapter of the Biennale NOVO project, an exhibition cycle curated by Marco Scotini that was launched last year and has previously presented artists Doruntina Kastrati and Omar Mismar.

The practice of José Carlos Martinat (Lima, Peru, 1974) revolves around the concept of ruina, understood in its dual meaning: the ruin as a historical and archaeological vestige, and the ruin as ruindad, referring to moral decay and systemic corruption. The exhibition investigates the processes through which private interests capture political power and the erosion of democratic structures in Latin America, taking the Peruvian context as a paradigm for a broader global condition.

On view are Martinat’s renowned wall extractions—fragments of actual walls taken from electoral campaigns in Peru and Venezuela—alongside an installation of thermal printers that materializes flows of information and algorithmic narratives in real time, as well as a series of casts of monuments and architectural surfaces.

On view through November 21, 2026.

SECCI | Radu Oreian

SECCI is pleased to announce the opening of the upcoming exhibition “Adelante” curated by Diana Marincu, opening on 24 September, from 6 pm, at our venue in via Olmetto 1, Milan.
“Radu Oreian’s visual language is shaped by mythology, memory, and symbolism, unfolding through “haptic” activations of visual perception that the artist orchestrates with remarkable subtlety and refinement. His paintings emerge from a wide constellation of references - spanning primitive art, the Renaissance, Surrealism, and contemporaneity - while eluding fixed historical divisions and privileging instead a fluid, almost encyclopedic flow of visual knowledge.

The exhibition’s title follows the artist’s intuition in seeking ways to approach the contemporary feeling of being stuck - in a moment, in a place, or in a mental state. Adelante is not only a revolutionary call to look toward the future, but also a resilient acceptance that moving forward is not a matter of choice, but an inevitability - one the artist transforms into a pulsating rhythm, a beat that resonates through every painting in the exhibition.” - Diana Marincu
