Vedovamazzei's 'Unexpected Landscape' at Galleria de' Foscherari

The artist duo Vedovamazzei, comprising Simeone Crispino and Stella Scala, presents 'Unexpected Landscape' at Galleria de' Foscherari in Bologna. The exhibition features recent works that blend irony with biting social critique, addressing migrant tragedies, war destruction, and tyranny. Highlights include the sculpture 'Appliance#3'—a chair with a fragile light bulb replacing one leg—and the neon installation 'Go-Do'. The vibrant paintings initially amuse but reveal grim undertones: a large text referencing floating human excrement, and small works depicting migrants drowning in the Mediterranean, their bodies vanishing without trace. Another series portrays the homes of ruthless dictators in reassuring, almost kitsch landscapes, oscillating between cheerfulness and dread.
