exhibition · 2026-04-20

The exhibition 'Sutura' by Matisse Mesnil is currently on display at Romero Paprocki in Milan, running until May 9, 2026. In this showcase, the artist delves into the properties of metal, employing welding and grinding techniques to reimagine both landscape and still life. Mesnil's creations highlight the significance of gesture and tools, with the passage of time taking a backseat to the material's inherent processes. His artistic language consists of linear modules with subtle variations, leaning towards minimalism. The works invite viewers to engage in quiet reflection, infused with a sense of sacred tension. Recently, Mesnil has ventured into larger land art projects during residencies, interacting with distinct landscapes, marking a period of technical and methodological exploration.
