Guglielmo Maggini's 'Nel tuo affondare, la mia forma' at z2o, Rome
Guglielmo Maggini (Rome, 1992) presents 'Nel tuo affondare, la mia forma' at z2o gallery in Rome, curated by Giuseppe Armogida. The exhibition features a new body of work exploring ceramic's physical limits, incorporating resin, glass, and painting. Key works include 'Re Mida,' referencing the alchemical king, and nine 'Naufragi' spheres (56 cm diameter, equal to Maggini's arm span) symbolizing rebirth through error. A tenth sphere exploded into 'Cesta Mistica' and 'Fra/menti.' The show runs until July 10, 2026. A concurrent exhibition, 'Senses of Art,' is at Six Senses Hotel until November 2026.
