Ilaria Gasparroni's Marble Sculptures at Cubo Gallery, Parma

exhibition · 2026-05-05

Ilaria Gasparroni (born 1989 in Sant'Omero) presents her marble sculptures at Cubo Gallery in Parma. The exhibition, curated with a text by Giulia Maria Letizia Romanini, explores themes of love, desire, and human connection through works that originate from casts of real people. Highlights include a kiss referencing Rodin's sculpture but focusing solely on the lovers' mouths, ballet shoes lined with thorns, and a vanitas piece evoking art history. The central work, 'Dolcezza,' exudes Renaissance-like sweetness, strength, and self-awareness.
