Daria Dmytrenko and Caroline Achaintre Dual Exhibitions at Galleria Secci, Milan

exhibition · 2026-04-26

Galleria Secci in Milan presents two concurrent solo exhibitions curated by Chiara Guidi. Caroline Achaintre (Toulouse, 1969) opens "Achaintre, Après Achaintre," her first Italian solo show. The artist, raised in Germany and based in London, works with diverse, carefully sourced materials, creating dialogue through forms and colors. Her large-scale, three-dimensional works evoke nature with vibrant hues and primitive shapes, commanding space with magnetic presence. Daria Dmytrenko (Dnipropetrovsk, 1993), represented by the gallery, presents "Who's Afraid of the Dark." The Ukrainian artist explores the subconscious through color and nuance, using painting as a language to surprise herself first. Her canvases translate an unwritten stream of consciousness into decisive strokes, resulting in anthropomorphic creatures and mythological figures that immerse viewers in her world. Both exhibitions run concurrently at Galleria Secci, Milan.
