TT - THiRTYONE Trends | 03 - ART IN SPACE
What happens when a space becomes more than a setting? This time THiRTYONE Trends shares the idea of developing a stronger character of the interior through the use of art. An artwork can shift the atmosphere of an entire room: it can slow down the eye, create a point of tension, introduce a new perspective, or simply make the place memorable.
From the world of ETRO Dubai, to a contemporary interpretation of the myth of Partenope, to a private residence shaped by personal expression - each project explores a particular bond between art and space. Different contexts. Different artists. Different stories.
Cesare Berlingeri - “Piegato RAL 2010”
Berlingeri’s folded canvas turns painting into a physical gesture. The work moves beyond the traditional picture plane, allowing colour, shadow and the folds of the material to become part of the composition. The result is a quiet tension between what is revealed and what remains concealed.
Kwangho Lee - “Knotted, Blue Chunk”
A sculptural meeting of industrial material and handwork, where the repetitive gesture of knotting transforms something familiar into something unexpected.
Lucianella Cafagna - “Against Red”
Cafagna’s Against Red introduces a more intimate presence, using colour and the human figure to create a moment of tension and emotional depth within the interior.
