Piotr Makowski's First Italian Solo Show at Fondazione Nomas
Polish artist Piotr Makowski (born 1985 in Gdynia) presents his first Italian solo exhibition at Fondazione Nomas in Rome. The show features small-format silverpoint monochrome drawings alongside large-scale paintings that fill the main space. Each painting is equally important, considered in relation to the surrounding space. The regular, vertical arrangement from floor to ceiling creates a unique abstract vortex. Makowski focuses solely on formal, emotional, and experiential problems, avoiding narrative intent. The exhibition title 'Abstractivism' is a wordplay reflecting a personal challenge: the diffuse chromaticism evokes a creative journey from geometric to organic forms, and alludes to abstraction's supposed superiority as a universal language over figuration's particularity.
