Sol LeWitt and Ignacio Uriarte at Galleria Gentili, Florence
Galleria Gentili in Florence presents a dual exhibition pairing Sol LeWitt's Drawing Series with works by Ignacio Uriarte. LeWitt's series, begun in the 1960s, updates Piet Mondrian's geometric abstraction by transforming walls into 'magic doors' that open onto unexpected realities. Uriarte, born in Krefeld in 1972, translates this approach onto paper, using orthogonal lines to build architectonic geometries that echo the facade of Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara. The exhibition explores surfaces suspended between ancient and modern.
