Maxime Rossi's 'A Cosmos Beneath the Nail' at Galleria Tiziana Di Caro, Naples

Maxime Rossi (b. 1980, Paris) presents 'A Cosmos Beneath the Nail' at Galleria Tiziana Di Caro in Naples, featuring 33 objects that form a single interconnected system. The exhibition challenges Louis Sullivan's maxim 'form follows function' by presenting forms that have lost their original mechanical purpose, becoming pure energy catalysts. Works include new sculptures, installations, and silkscreens. The sculptures are covered in bright aluminum sheets (pink, yellow, magenta, violet, green, blue, red, black) and incorporate bolts and screws with male-female threads, once part of mechanical systems. The exhibition plays with day/night alternation: in daylight, works emerge with solid colors; at night, black light activates UV-reactive silkscreens depicting three stages of the Ghost Orchid, an albino plant that undergoes perpetual dynamic changes to avoid sunlight. Fluorescent cords trace new geometries in the dark, revealing hidden connections. The piece 'Ghost Orchid' subverts naturalistic representation, approaching the plant's real habitat experience. The exhibition runs at Galleria Tiziana Di Caro in Naples.
