Diego Gualandris Turns a Sofa into a Car in Rome Exhibition
Diego Gualandris (Bergamo, 1993) presents 'Escape from Regina Coeli' at Ada Project in Rome. The exhibition features a battered sofa transformed into a motorized car, surrounded by large canvases depicting dreamlike scenes with ambiguous figures, talking parrots, and cabaret-like butcher shops. The show explores an alternate cityscape, with paintings acting as portals to vertiginous dimensions. Accompanying text by Basile Dinbergs sets the scene: a rainy night in Trastevere, a manhole cover rising, and two figures emerging before disappearing. The works include '11' (2022, oil on canvas, 200 x 200 x 3 cm). The exhibition is hosted by Ada Project in Rome.
