Wang Pei and Nieves González at T293 Rome

exhibition · 2026-04-26

T293 gallery in Rome presents a dual exhibition featuring Chinese painter Wang Pei and Spanish artist Nieves González, both exploring tradition and innovation in painting. Wang Pei (b. 1989, China) debuts in Italy with 'The Deluge,' a series of quiet, unsettling works that contrast with the biblical title. His technique combines tempera and oil to create a fresco-like texture, informed by his research in Medieval History at the University of Barcelona. Figures are often depicted from behind, evoking ambiguity and solitude. Nieves González (b. 1996, Huelva) presents three unframed paintings in a preview ahead of her solo show in autumn. Her works employ a Baroque style but subvert it with contemporary colors and details, described by curator Victoria Rivers as a 'deliberate metamorphosis.' González's female subjects are fully clothed, projecting a modern, emancipated identity. The exhibition runs at T293 in Rome.
