Fuco Ueda's New Surrealism at Dorothy Circus Gallery
Dorothy Circus Gallery in Rome is presenting a solo exhibition of Japanese artist Fuco Ueda (b. 1979), whose work embodies a pure and innovative form of New Japanese Surrealism with a pop aesthetic. Ueda's pieces blend mineral pigments, fabric, and wood to create a fusion of flora and fauna, evoking delicate yet mysterious emotions. Her palette features vibrant lavender shades and pale blue-violet tones, depicting impassive female figures in plastic, suspended poses—neither alive nor dead, with skeletal elements. The ethereal compositions oscillate between the concrete and invisible, revealing unexpected and destabilizing forms. The exhibition was reviewed by Michele Luca Nero.
