Cecilia Anselmi and Motorefisico Collide in Rome Exhibition

exhibition · 2026-05-05

A group exhibition curated by Cecilia Anselmi and featuring the duo Motorefisico (Lorenzo Pagliara and Gianmaria Zonfrillo) opened in Rome, organized with dMake | art. The show explores surface, space, and metaphysical landscapes through collage, ready-mades, patterns, and digital cut-and-paste. Anselmi's work incorporates archetypes, symbols, and semantic references, with a recurring red line that directs the viewer's eye. Influences include Josef Albers, Munari, Sol LeWitt, Daniel Buren, and Louise Bourgeois. Geometric and lattice structures appear throughout, and female presence is strong, with Marilyn Monroe as a muse. The exhibition emphasizes that originality is a synthesis of existing creative principles.
