Filippo Antonello Explores Weight and Support in 'Load Path' at Kearsey & Gold, London
Filippo Antonello, a Swiss-Italian artist, showcases 'Load Path' at Kearsey & Gold on Cork Street, London, from September 17 to October 30, 2026. This exhibition includes four paintings and a sculpture that delve into themes of weight, support, and individual structures. The title draws from engineering, as Antonello relates the idea of load paths to the human body. His pieces, such as 'Kind of Trial', 'Wall to Wall', and 'Tenerwald', combine painterly textures with detailed figures and graphic components. One sculpture illustrates a figure collapsing onto an ironing board, blending object and body. Born in Lugano in 2002, Antonello studied at the University of Amsterdam and earned an MA from Central Saint Martins, presenting his first solo show, 'Aufheben', in 2025.
