Artuner is pleased to present Seasons in the City<\/i>, a group exhibition presenting new artworks by Marcus Cope, Ana Elisa Egreja, Keita Morimoto, and Shaq\u00faelle Whyte at the Palazzo Capris in Turin. The exhibition will open on November 3rd and run through the 7th alongside Artissima. Seasons in the City <\/i>referencesMarcovaldo: The Seasons in the City<\/i>, a collection of short stories by Italian author Italo Calvino. Taking place in Turin, the book narrates the misadventures of a workman. Themes of magical realism stream throughout and influence all four artists, capturing the timeless experience of urbanism and the private sphere of the home. Drawing from childhood memories to everyday objects, the artists\u2019 works offer reflections and meditations on daily life and the creation of identity.<\/p>\n
Marcus Cope is a London-based painter who draws from personal memories and weaves them with elements of the uncanny. Unbridled in their extrapolations of internal logic, the paintings can be understood as contemporary mythologies, where family figures become creatures, heads become eggs, and beds of flowers become pools. Objects and subjects are juxtaposed in new environments, coalescing the comfort and uneasiness of remembering into his compositions, like a set from a contemporary fable.<\/p>\n
Ana Elisa Egreja is a Brazilian painter, whose works invite the viewer to immerse within the magical realism of her interiorscapes. In this new series, Egreja narrows the focus on the shared space of the dining table.Egreja\u2019s exploration of the domestic environment highlights the mundane, but fine practice of collectables, in this case, Chinese plates from the Yongzheng Dynasty. In this series of paintings, Ana Elisa Egreja introduces the point of view of consumption for the animals, as well as for the people.<\/p>\n
Keita Morimoto is a Japanese artist based in Tokyo, who engages with topics of magic realism and Foucault\u2019s concept of heterotopic spaces. In his paintings, Morimoto explores the tension between the mechanics of digital picture-making and the classical painting technique of the old masters. The artist works from a digital archive of photos he took while wandering around late at night, juxtaposing them and imposing them with figures. People become vessels in Morimoto\u2019s art, carrying a profound detachment and assimilation to the urban environment.<\/p>\n
Shaq\u00faelle Whyte is a London-based figurative painter. The beautifully imaginative and fluid cosmos of Shaq\u00faelle paintings are invitations into the intimate domestic scenes, exploring topics of gaze, identities, and visibility. Shaq\u00faelle draws inspiration from personal memories, using colour to punctuate and create dreamlike movements in which figures, objects, and architectural elements intertwine. The suspension of clear demarcation of time and close cropping of the subject matter, along with the rich attention to the object and interior details, creates a dense pictorial language in which subject and subtext effortlessly meld as the body is bound to its environment.<\/p>\n
