NIKKI MALOOF – ASPECTS OF DAILY LIFE

Posted on 2025-09-22

Meditation on the finality of things and the beauty of nature, evocation of the fleeing of time and a tool of revelation of the world, the haiku offers in a few words a melancholic and concise image, both sweet and bitter, whose fall invites an unexpected humour. While poetic references regularly inhabit Nikki Maloof’s painting, such as to Robert Lowell’s poem Skunk Hour, where one of her previous paintings borrows the title, her recent works have something of this Japanese art of the ellipse. In her painting Flounder (2024), the fish are placed one on top of the other, immobilized in the derision of suspended time, eyes open in astonishment at being there and yet no longer being there, bringing to mind the verses of Matsuo Bashō, grand master of the haiku: In the spring that goes away/The birds scream/The eyes of the fish in tears.

JOHAN CRETEN – TREMORE ESSENZIALE

Posted on 2025-09-22

The exhibition unfolds as an instinctive flow, born from the urgent need to give form to an experience that traverses body, matter, and history. Creten’s works do more than inhabit space: they reveal its inherent instability, as if the ground itself was quickened by an invisible pulse. The title gestures toward this very condition, suggesting tremor as both a formal and existential principle, a subtle vibration that resonates within the material and within the viewer’s perception.
Central to the exhibition is the series Odore di Femmina, which explores the delicate tension between attraction and repulsion, desire and apprehension. By shaping clay – primordial, moist, fertile – Creten conjures flowers that are at once fragile and disquieting, capturing the paradox of impurity transformed into the sublime. In these works, sculpture functions as a ritual of transformation, where impermanence and renewal are inscribed in the gestures of molding, building, and letting collapse. Employing a metonymic language, the artist allows the flower to evoke the feminine, conceived as a space of desire, mystery, and sacredness. While the classical elegance of the forms and the meticulous craftsmanship of the petals attract the eye, it is their inherent fragility that imparts true force – a delicate equilibrium between radiance and transience.
