Alek O. Returns to Rome with New Works at Frutta Gallery
Nearly three years after her last solo show in Rome, Alek O. (born 1981 in Buenos Aires) returns to Frutta Gallery with an exhibition that revisits her recurring themes of memory and recollection. The unifying element is a varied foliage that merges, deconstructs, and reassembles elements dear to the artist, giving them entirely new meaning. The work seeks aesthetic uniformity through repeated geometries, ultimately rendering the original objects unrecognizable. However, this transformation through recycling does not erase associated memories; instead, they are preserved by taking on new forms and new life. The exhibition is on view at Frutta Gallery in Rome.
