Solo Show

The solo presentation features Milan-based artist Giovanni Kronenberg (b. 1974), with critical commentary by Antonio Grulli. The exhibition centers on recent works on paper. Though recognized for sculptural pieces utilizing found objects and artifacts, Kronenberg has developed concurrent graphic practice. The paper works reveal sensitivity to form transformation—echoing sculptural configurations while diverging through vibrant unexpected coloration and expressive mark-making.

The artist positions drawings in dialogue with sculptures, testing installation dynamics. This iteration excludes three-dimensional forms, intensifying the ambiguity that characterizes Kronenberg's investigation through two-dimensional composition alone. The figure-ground relationship becomes "a continuous formal dispute, which he does not find and does not want to find a simple or predictable solution."

Mixed techniques—pastel, charcoal, colored pencils, watercolor—approach drawing as pictorial practice, balancing saturated hues with delicate tones. The small-format compositions employ precious metal backgrounds (copper, silver, and 24-karat gold leaf), introducing "suspension, timelessness and remoteness to its graphic proofs."
