193 Gallery will participate in Miart 2025 with an exhibition titled "Look at the Texture of the Landscape!" featuring three artists whose work explores landscape interpretation through different cultural lenses.
The exhibition, housed at Booth B02, connects with the fair's 2025 theme "Among Friends", which commemorates Robert Rauschenberg's centenary. Drawing inspiration from Rauschenberg's principles of openness, interdisciplinarity, and collaboration, the exhibition creates dialogue across aesthetic approaches and cultural perspectives.
French-Italian artist Ben Arpéa contributes work that focuses on textures and color fields to transform everyday scenes. His piece "The Two Leaves" (2025) employs acrylic, oil, and sand on linen canvas and plywood, demonstrating his technique of elevating ordinary moments through sophisticated visual narratives.
Jean-Marc Hunt, from Guadeloupe, brings his reinterpretation of landscape through the lens of Creole heritage. His untitled work from the "Série Jardin Créole" (2024) uses mixed media including acrylic and paper on cotton canvas. Hunt's contemporary approach to "Creole gardens" presents a layered perspective on cultural identity and cross-cultural exchange.
New Zealand artist Rob Tucker completes the trio with compositions described as both naïve and spirited. His featured work, "A moody moon on a warm evening" (2025), showcases his complex technique incorporating acrylic painting, oil pastel and stick, oil varnish, diluted dye, and water pencil with an epoxy resin finish. Tucker's landscapes contain pop-inspired elements and emphasize textural experimentation.
The exhibition aims to create connections between diverse artistic languages, inviting viewers to experience landscapes both realistic and dreamlike through the varied perspectives of these three artists from different regions of the world.
Miart 2025 will be held at Allianz MiCo in Milan, where visitors can find 193 Gallery's exhibition at Booth B02.
