Simone Pellegrini and Jorge Mayet at Galleria Montoro12 in Rome
Galleria Montoro12 in Rome presents 'Arriaca', a two-person exhibition featuring Simone Pellegrini (Ancona, 1972) and Jorge Mayet (Havana, 1962). The title references an ancient crossroads of cultures and religions. Pellegrini's work explores signs and symbolisms that reinterpret human essence, juxtaposing the human figure with phytomorphic elements drawn from pictorial cycles. Mayet contributes floating sculptures that evoke islands of childhood memories and tranquility, uprooted trees as symbols of resilience, and ruined houses fragmented by socio-political ruptures and exile.
