Matteo Mauro Studio is welcoming the Spring season by hosting two events throughout the month of May.

May 7th – Solo Exhibition “Nel buio” by Alessandro d’Aquila

“Nel buio,” is a compelling solo exhibition by Alessandro d’Aquila, personally curated by Matteo Mauro, in collaboration with Galleria Monopoli. Matteo Mauro describes Alessandro D’Aquila’s works as, “appearing both cryptic and obvious, A mechanism where consciousness and unconsciousness closely interact, one serving as a lever to grant access to the other”. It was back during the 2021 pandemic where the artist began creating the series, Le Tavole Ottometriche Poetiche (The poetic Optometric Charts). These artworks reinterpret visual examination tools into poetic and philosophical objects that not only blends aesthetics with conceptual depth, but forces the viewer to take a more concentrated look.

The public is invited to experience the pieces and observe the evolution they’ve undergone as the series keeps developing through the years. The vernissage opens at 7pm, at Galleria Monopoli at Via Ventura 6, Milan 20134. Both Alessandro d’Aquila and Matteo Mauro will be present at the event.

There will be a special interference by Waro, the artist known for his calm chaos, who will include a special piece in the show.

May 21st – “After Spring, Before Summer” Open Studio

Matteo Mauro Studio opens its doors on May 21st from 7pm until 9pm, for a special evening titled “After Spring, Before Summer.” This event is a celebration for the success of the I only Eat Flower project, inviting participants and the public to an exclusive evening at Matteo Mauro’s creative space, showcasing the newest artworks, ongoing projects, and insights into the artist’s process. Visitors will have the chance to interact with Matteo Mauro directly, gaining firsthand experience of the studio atmosphere and artistic production.

There will be a magnitude of 2D and 3D artworks on display, pieces from the Raw Inscription series will be displayed along with a special diptych from the Bronze on Canvas series.

Both events are free and open to the public, with no signup necessary.
