Above Touch: Mathieu Meijers and Andrea Sala at Galleria Federica Schiavo
The exhibition 'Above Touch' at Galleria Federica Schiavo in Rome pairs Dutch artist Mathieu Meijers (b. 1951) with Italian artist Andrea Sala (b. 1976), exploring painting and sculpture across vertical and horizontal planes. Meijers presents works on paper and linen from 2018–2024, using tempera to achieve depth and a personal interpretation of reality centered on light, memory, and archetypal motifs like pears and cargo ships. Sala contributes two new series from 2025: 'Serviti/Pomodori' in terracotta, featuring horizontal pastel powder techniques and the 'Occhio di Bue' tomato, and 'Di terra, di buchi e di nuvole' in travertine, examining time, landscape, and memory. The exhibition runs at the gallery in Rome.
