Andrea Romano “All The Synecdoches And Metonymies In The World Make Up One Great Metaphor” at Federica Schiavo Gallery, Rome

Andrea Romano presents a new body of work at Federica Schiavo Gallery in Rome, titled “All The Synecdoches And Metonymies In The World Make Up One Great Metaphor.” The exhibition explores the intersection of the artist’s private life and professional practice through a series of fragmented forms, residues, and reflections. By utilizing linguistic concepts as a framework, Romano investigates how individual parts of an experience attempt to coalesce into a unified whole, even when that totality remains elusive.

At the Baths of Diocletian in Rome, a show by a Chinese artist is a hit. The curator explains why

Alle Terme di Diocleziano di Roma spopola la mostra di un’artista cinese. Il curatore spiega perché

Chinese artist Wu Jian'an (born 1980, Beijing) is the subject of a major solo exhibition at the Baths of Diocletian in Rome, part of the Museo Nazionale Romano. Titled "Metamorphoses. L'arte che trasforma," the show explores connections between Chinese and Italian cultures, as well as broader Eastern and European traditions. Curated by Umberto Croppi, president of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma, the exhibition features works such as the monumental leather installation "The Heaven of Nine Levels" (2008–2009) and the series "The Eternal Cycle – Running Through the Seasons" (2024–2025), which combines intricate paper cutouts, silk, wax, and cotton thread. The artist, who represented China at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017, was inspired by the ancient Roman spaces, creating a dialogue between his contemporary pieces and the site's classical mosaics and architecture.
