Christiane Löhr's Fragile Architectures at Capodimonte
Christiane Löhr (Wiesbaden, 1965) presents her delicate, fractal-like sculptures at the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples as part of the 'Incontri sensibili' cycle. Curated by Sylvain Bellenger and Laura Trisorio in collaboration with Tucci Russo Studio per l’Arte Contemporanea, the exhibition juxtaposes Löhr's works—made from seeds, petals, stems, and horsehair—with 17th-century flower paintings by Andrea Belvedere. Löhr, who studied under Jannis Kounellis, weaves transparent architectures that evoke both micro and macro cosmic structures, resonating with Organic Abstraction and late Land Art. The show highlights her ability to create 'cathedrals of nothing and everything,' balancing fragility and strength.
