Pesce Khete's New Works on Paper at Galleria Colli, Rome

Pesce Khete (Rome, 1980) presents his second solo show at Galleria Colli in Rome, curated by Cecilia Canziani. The exhibition marks a shift from vertical to horizontal composition, with recent works on paper that emphasize horizontality and finite space. Khete's practice, characterized by accumulation and stratification, now returns to drawing as a central element. The works, mostly medium-format horizontal pieces, are displayed on walls, inviting viewers to complete the artwork. They reference earlier works but are not continuations; instead, they emerge as accidental rediscoveries of past pieces through layered sheets and memory. The show features five medium-sized works on paper, balancing abstraction with vaguely recognizable figures. Michele Luca Nero writes that the exhibition achieves great coherence and equilibrium, with the works appearing casually arranged yet functioning beautifully.
