Architecture becomes a study of light, rhythm and geometry.
In Janice Mehlman’s photograph, structural elements are stripped of their everyday function and transformed into an abstract composition of shadows, lines and fragmented forms.
The built environment becomes something almost organic, a shifting interplay between light and matter, solid and void.

Michelangelo Bastiani, “Kenón”, 2026, epoxy resin, borosilicate glass, plexiglass, steel, cm 163 x 93 x 9

Michelangelo Bastiani transforms a transparent display case into a space of movement. Coloured tubes, fragments and air bubbles form a fluid network that seems to multiply across the surface, creating a tension between apparent immobility and continuous motion.

The transparent structure does not simply contain the work: it amplifies it, inviting to look beyond its visible surface.

It is now on view at the gallery.

Andrea Collesano reinterprets the imagery of natural history through a contemporary lens, creating intimate works where scientific illustration, symbolism and memory converge.

These two new miniature works, set in antique frames, are now on view at the gallery. Come to see them!

New display, new dialogue.

This powerful work by Javier Marín embodies movement suspended in time: a figure balanced between strength and vulnerability.

We look forward to welcoming you to discover the new gallery layout.

A closer look at Agostino Rocco’s silent figures.

Faces that appear like fragments, suspended between presence and absence.

Through precise details, precious surfaces and references to ceramic traditions and ornamental languages, Rocco creates portraits that invite a slower and deeper gaze.

In “Tōhen”, these silent figures enter into dialogue with Japanese ceramics, creating a connection between material, memory and contemporary vision.

“Tōhen” is on view until July 4, 2026

A dialogue between two worlds.
A face, a fragment, a surface that holds memory.

In “Tōhen”, Agostino Rocco’s paintings meet Japanese ceramics in a dialogue between Italian contemporary art and centuries-old ceramic traditions.

The precious details, the ornamental patterns and the silent figures become traces of a shared reflection on beauty, time and transformation.
