The second Italian solo show by Miroslaw Balka, created specifically for the spaces of the gallery, is inspired by the poetic suggestions of Paul Celan and in particular by the poem “Nature Morte”. The troubled existence of the Ukrainian poet, who lived in the shadow of the war in Romania under the Soviet invasion, attracted Balka’s attention. Like his poems, these new works by the Polish artist also stand out for their intense evocative quality, difficulty in interpretation and extraordinary suggestion.
