Il corpo, la maternità e il destino. Tutto nella pittura di Araminta Blue a Perugia
Araminta Blue's exhibition 'Venti Trasversali' opened on June 12 at Palazzo della Penna in Perugia, running until July 26, 2026. The show features paintings created during the artist's pregnancy, exploring themes of the body, motherhood, and destiny. Curated by Riccardo Freddo, Head of Museum and Institutional Relationships at Rosenfeld Gallery in London, the exhibition deliberately resists immersive, Instagram-friendly trends, requiring viewers to spend time with the works to discern figurative elements emerging from abstraction.
The exhibition matters because it represents a counter-current approach in an art world that prioritizes immediate impact and shareability. Freddo's strategy emphasizes slow looking and institutional validation over commercial spectacle, with Rosenfeld Gallery investing in long-term artist careers through museum shows and annual publications. The show also serves as a tribute to the late gallerist Ian Rosenfeld, whose philosophy of nurturing talent organically continues to guide the gallery's mission.
