Alfredo Pirri's Rome Exhibition Explores Light and Mud

exhibition · 2026-04-27

Galleria Z2o in Rome presents a solo exhibition of Alfredo Pirri (born 1957 in Cosenza), showcasing works from the 1980s to today. The show contrasts light and mud across various media: delicate watercolors on paper, charcoal and spray paint pieces, large wooden panels, and the installation 'Strada di bandiere'. At the gallery's Aventino space, the 2019 installation 'Compagni e angeli' features transparent plexiglass panels in a geometric arrangement, allowing natural light to create multiple perspectives. Recurring motifs include circularity, gear-like illusions, radial layouts, and sound waves. Small cruciform screws hint at intimate sacredness. Preparatory drawings for 'Passi', exhibited at Chiostro del Bramante in the 'Crazy' show, accompany the display.
