Until September 15th 2024
A+B Gallery is pleased to opening in its Brescia venue WARM, the third group exhibition of the season. In continuity with the ongoing research, the gallery add a new character to its proposal. The selection of works on display is linked to the partial permanence, but perhaps it is better to call it absence, of the physicality of the human body as an iconographic subject. The need is to share the current state of euphoria for the representation of the body, going beyond its image. For this reason, the expressive tools used by the artists belong to sculpture, painting and installation, but never in their usual definition.
The body can be sensed through a climatic imprint. The group exhibition Warm reflects on this topic and intertwines the research of eight European artists about physicality. The artworks on display reincarnate tears, emotions, and odors. Cooled materials keep releasing and demanding warmth. This interplay of temperature and distance echoes the contemporary nature of environmental perception.
