ART IN PROGRESS

MARIT WOLTERS

Marit Wolters is a German sculptor who lives and works in Vienna. Her work explores the relationship between nature and architecture and the various ways in which they intersect. Individual materials, the exploration of their properties, local material histories and the theme of recycling in artwork often play a central role in her installations. Wolters studied sculpture and architecture-related transmedia art in Vienna. Her work has been exhibited in Europe, Asia and the United States.

MARIE GRIESMAR

Marie Griesmar is a Swiss artist. Her practice lies at the intersection of utopia and reality. Marie has been diving since the age of nine and has been a devoted observer of marine life ever since. Thanks to her skills as a diver, she has come to understand water as a new space for creation. All her work serves as a communication tool to promote science in relation to art.

CRISTINA MEJIAS

Cristina Mejías bases her work on family narratives and stories, challenging the strict and traditional methods of constructing a story through a linear narrative. Borrowing from theatre and film, the gap between the adorned and the adoring, the artist uses fundamental visual narrative techniques to reveal the fragility and subjectivity of storytelling. What has brought us here is grounded in the layers of history and the stories that precede us. Creating something that is seen as new always starts with capturing a whisper that sets off the story.

GIULIA POPPI

GIULIA POPPI

Giulia Poppi’s sculptures are objects crafted from coloured lights, false transparencies, anatomical archetypes and, sometimes, minuscule mechanisms hidden in an interstice. they sound like an onomatopoeia or dance like a sea creature and, in the artist’s own words, she sometimes thinks of her sculpture as a film or an image. but she needs the physical experience. matter is genuine and ambiguous. it can rapidly change.

FRANCESCA LEONE

ART IN PROGRESS

FRANCESCA LEONE

Francesca Leone’s work is based on the notion of time. Looking at it, we can see how the rust that oxidises the metal scratches it, scars it over time. The artist works on this “skin”, delicately insinuating colours, masking the wounds. It is in this dialogue of memories that Leone builds her own visionary narrative, where a suffering Nature demands a pause, as these pieces whisper, inviting us to stop, to give space to our thoughts and to let dreams come to the surface. Taking your time means allowing yourself the privilege of a look, giving art time to write its own story. A rebellious gesture to let a new utopian thought, a new allure emerge.

MOZA SARACHO

ART IN PROGRESS

MOZA SARACHO

The artist has chosen to exhibit a piece that seeks to read reality in a way that extracts its visual grammar. The “molecular” components in her art, her vision and certain forays into deconstruction are how she relates to and engages in a critical dialogue with the world. In the artist’s own words, her passion as an artist is to use her vision to create, represent, reflect and find the inner beauty in terrifying moments of circumstances, experiences and stories. And her intention is to understand the world, challenge it, represent it through her own visual language. Life, reality and truth.
