Cold Current: New Tendencies in Scandinavian Art at Opere Scelte, Turin

The exhibition 'Cold Current' at Galleria Opere Scelte in Turin presents four Scandinavian artists exploring instinctive composition through diverse media. Kay Arne Kirkebø works with graphite minimalism, Lasse Årikstad creates poetic everyday installations, Gabriel Johann Kvendseth employs artisanal impressionism, and Cato Løland focuses on textile materialism. The show draws inspiration from composer Sibelius, as evoked by Gianandrea Gavazzeni's words on the 'mark of places of origin' and 'grave Nordic melancholy.' The exhibition highlights a compositional method free from Germanic rhetoric, enriched by forgotten suggestions and movements between ancient legends and contemporary Scandinavian trends. The gallery space emphasizes the successful outcome of this artistic dialogue.
