Sarah Jérôme's Alchemical Bodies at Pino Pascali Museum

French artist Sarah Jérôme (born 1979 in Rennes) presents her work at the Pino Pascali Museum in Polignano a Mare, Italy, as part of the ShowCase series. The exhibition, proposed by Bari's Doppelgaenger gallery, features sculptures and paintings that explore the metamorphosis of the human body into vegetal and animal forms. Her sculptures depict female heads succumbing to ferine tentacles or hidden behind plant-like concretions, while large figures made of cords balance precariously. In her paintings, color is applied gesturally on floor-based surfaces, with movements derived from her dance background. The compositions result from an encounter between artist and space, with chromatic vortices often concealing figural hints. The exhibition is part of a program aimed at local galleries managing their own exhibition spaces.
