Alessandro Roma Transforms Gallery into Living Environment at Car Drde

Alessandro Roma (b. 1977, Milan) presents 'Il tutto per non traballare troppo' at Car Drde gallery in Bologna, a site-specific exhibition that uses painting as a tool for environmental metamorphosis. The show features large floral-decorative canvases, a mural intervention, and ceramic works. Paintings are mounted without frames, hung from horizontal rods like curtains, emphasizing their objecthood and independence from the wall. This approach, recalling Art Nouveau's floral and zoomorphic motifs, treats artworks as functional objects—including a lampshade—blurring the line between autonomous art and domestic furnishing. The gallery's atypical layout of two small rooms and a narrow corridor is radically altered by Roma's vibrant colors and rhythmic compositions, which generate light and reshape spatial perception. The exhibition is curated by Daniele Capra.
