Rita Ponce de León and Rodrigo Hernández at P420 in Bologna
The gallery P420 in Bologna presents "Stelo," a dual exhibition featuring Mexican artist Rita Ponce de León (born 1983 in Mexico City) and Peruvian artist Rodrigo Hernández (born 1982 in Lima). The title "Stelo" refers to a "growth process," exploring how artists engage with masters. Ponce de León's works, including drawings and sculptures, reference butoh dancer Kazuo Ohno through physical movements across the gallery space. Hernández's terracotta tiles, part of his "from Silvia series," are inspired by Swiss artist Silvia Bächli, capturing objects and figures as snapshots or low-reliefs that play with shadow. The exhibition runs at P420 in Bologna.
