Peter Belyi's 'Obscure Light' at Rossana Ciocca Gallery in Milan
Peter Belyi's 'Obscure Light' is the second exhibition at Rossana Ciocca's new Milan space, showcasing a work originally created ten years ago. The piece, part of the '#aviewnotawindow' project, decontextualizes the artwork from the public environment, making it open to confrontation and gaze. Visible 24 hours a day at Via Donatello 7, the work features a minimal, dark aesthetic typical of Belyi, complemented by neon light and exposed electrical cables that convey an unfinished, deliberately imperfect impression. The contrast and amount of light filtering through the windowpane strongly attract the viewer's eye.
