Ada Mascolo's Floral Watercolors at Galleria Febo e Dafne

exhibition · 2026-05-05

Ada Mascolo (born 1970, Turin) presents a series of small-format watercolors and Chinese inks from her series 'Nel mio giardino' (2015-16) at Galleria Febo e Dafne in Turin. The works depict delicate, floating petals of roses, violets, water lilies, and other flowers, showcasing technical elegance and color shifts on paper. While the pieces achieve a naturalistic chromatic appeal, the exhibition's floral redundancy—except for two tiger heads—risks a uniform visual effect that diminishes each work's individual sensitivity. The review is by Giuseppe Amedeo Arnesano.
