The collective exhibition "A Magic Cabinet", curated by Valeria Cirone and Natalia Gryniuk, aims to make the content dialogue with the container, creating a profound interaction between the exhibited works and the space that hosts them. The space, inspired by the ancient "Wunderkammer", or "cabinets of wonders", is transformed into a magical place where different art forms intertwine, creating a unique experience for visitors.
Within this framework, the public will have the opportunity to explore works by contemporary artists, participating in stimulating meetings and creative exchanges with artists, curators, writers and theater actors. Every corner of the "Magic Cabinet" will be an invitation to discover, dialogue and reflect on art in all its facets.
PAINTING
The upper floor is dedicated to Ji-yoon Oh's solo show where material painting merges with abstract painting. Oh Ji-yoon's work is based on high-definition canvas with a deep painterly nature. His achromatic and monochromatic screens are already fully in line with the search for materials and the exploration of the physical properties of screens that modernist painting pursued. The artist neglects the natural flow of materials by using the property of drawing, spraying and spreading, and to control it, he uses mixed pigments with strong adsorption capacity to create irregularities on the canvas or control the materials. The achromatic shade screen, which abundantly absorbs the materials thanks to the positive property of the canvas, seems to oppose the flatness of the crossed material and the protruding part, but soon becomes one with the screen and agrees with it. The artist here uses gold, jade, adamantine, etc., to seek perfection on the canvas with intelligent figures or geometric patterns, while at the same time preaching a message of hope and light. Ji-yoon Oh's paintings clearly reveal the characteristics of abstract painting, which starts from avoiding the atypical forms pursued by Informal painting, that is, avoiding all the forms that we commonly conceive as such. However, nature is present in his work, life is lively, and he exudes a painterly charm that makes us reflect on the gap between reality and ideals.
PHOTOGRAPH
The lower floor is dedicated to Amil Tha CLKRS, aka TC, with the project "IN LOVE WITH THE STREETZ" which explores the soul of the street, a place where unwritten rules define life and where everyone finds their role . The road is not just a physical passage, but a microcosm that reflects the experiences, challenges and aspirations of those who live it every day. This project aims to tell the stories that intertwine in this urban context, offering an intense and multifaceted visual representation of the culture that develops between asphalt and concrete. From faces marked by fatigue and life scars, to the artistic expressions of writers and tattoo artists, figures who transform the street into a canvas and who, through their graffiti and tattoos, become the narrators of its raw and vibrant energy.
A 360° exhibition, for those who love art and want to experience an atmosphere of sharing, discovery and inspiration.
