The Consulate General of Italy and the Italian Cultural Institute in London are delighted to present the works of artist Sophie Ko for the first time in the United Kingdom, with two exhibition events curated by Elena Re at the Italian Cultural Institute in London and at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, and with the collaboration of Bologna’s Galleria de’ Foscherari. Investigating her works like geographic maps, the audience will enjoy Ko’s paintings as different landscapes, where some works are made of ashes from burnt images, and others might contain pure pigments stratified in gold dust. Gravity is the main subject of this show, able to transform the paints over time, in a process that represents an expression of continual rebirth. As Elena Re, the curator, states: “With these works, Sophie Ko paved the way to her approach to conceiving figuration, coming up with something that straddles painting and sculpture, something that only time can draw”. ART EXHIBITION | Geografia temporale by Sophie Ko and curated by Elena Re. From 6th to 19th of February at ICI London.
