Sean Shanahan's 'Cuore a fette' Explores the Void at Building Gallery Milan
Building Gallery in Milan presents 'Cuore a fette', a solo exhibition by Irish-born artist Sean Shanahan, curated by Luca Massimo Barbero. The show spans three floors, featuring Shanahan's signature object-paintings made from MDF panels and oil colors, each centered around a square hole. This formal device creates a portal-like effect, contrasting color with void, and is explored across various chromatic scales and apertures. The installation on the third floor incorporates perforated walls that enhance the spatial dialogue, offering a playful yet conceptual experience. Shanahan, born in Dublin in 1960, has developed this technique over time, emphasizing the tension between finitude and eternity, as evoked by the exhibition's title.
