Alessandro Roma's 'The whisper of the peacock becomes a snake' at Quartz Studio, Turin

Alessandro Roma (born 1977, Milan) presents an exhibition titled 'The whisper of the peacock becomes a snake' at Quartz Studio in Turin. The show features two large canvases arranged like a Renaissance tapestry diptych, brimming with colors that reference Matisse, Art Deco murals, Ernst, German Magic Realism of the 1920s-30s, and Magritte. The compositions depict a physical and symbolic metamorphosis from snake to peacock and back, with sinuous animal and vegetal forms suggesting infinity. A ceramic sculpture materializes this movement, its muted tones connecting the paintings to a woodcut print framed with ceramic inserts that evoke leaves from the tapestries. The exhibition is described as both a transmitted tale and a good omen, offering the viewer knowledge, technical skill, and emotion to remind of the constant whisper of renewal in the arts.
