Eleonora Rinaldi's 'Órama' at Ca' Pesaro Explores Vision as Fragile Act

Eleonora Rinaldi (born 1994 in Udine) presents 'Órama' at Ca' Pesaro in Venice, a solo exhibition curated by Francesco Liggieri and Christian Palazzo. The show's title, from ancient Greek for 'vision' or 'apparition', sets the tone for works that challenge perception. Key paintings include 'The Watchers', where the gaze is destabilized; 'La Nuit' and 'La fleur fanée', with rarefied, evocative imagery; 'Le répos éclaré', a magnetic piece depicting a crouched figure in nature; and 'L’idée du Deluge', where an apocalyptic title belies an interior, liquid collapse. The series 'Night Rider' on paper uses minimal pencil marks, while 'Little Birds' presents winged presences with latent tension. The exhibition is conceived as a single perceptual experience, positioning vision as an ethical, uncertain act. A quote from Coleridge about a dreamer holding a flower upon waking underscores the show's theme of apparitions that remain by what they open, not what they show.
