Xavier Pieralli & Valentina Favi "Supernova"
Nohra Haime Gallery
This event has ended.
This exhibition includes a series of innovative three-dimensional mixed media paintings will mark Pieralli & Favi's first solo exhibition in New York. The works of Pieralli & Favi, an eccentric Florentine duo, are successful and ambiguous hybrids between paintings, sculptures and installations. Composed of acrylic, adhesives, nails and wood, these works lead the gaze along vigorous planes, rhythmic swirling organic forms and linear webs that appear to grow and extend in space. Hard-edged shapes, explosions, nebulous patterns, and changing amorphous forms, are cleverly arranged in non-traditional formats. As the compositions develop structurally, they unfold out of the conventional limits of the frame, and permeate the wall, ceiling, and floor of the gallery space. In an almost menacing manner, they expand and spread around corners in indeterminate shapes.
