Natura Morta Noemi Durighello curated by Liam Floyd Gallery goldene Pforte 29 Februrary – 30 March In her solo exhibition ‚Natura Morta‘, the Italian artist Noemi Durighello approaches the subject of still lifes in her characteristic abstract manner. Her focus lies on the natural elements contained in (mainly baroque) still life paintings. They appear in the form of fruit, flowers or food and remind us of the finiteness and transience of all earthly life – the vanitas motif. In addition, she develops her own formal language through the abstraction and deconstruction of objects in her analogue and digital environment as well as visual association and formal comparison, which is primarily expressed through the medium of oil painting. On the occasion of this exhibition, Durighello is presenting works for the first time in which she has taken the picture-within-a-picture theme literally and by means of elaborate canvas constructions questions the composition. Noemi Durighello studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti, Venezia and Dresden University of Fine Arts, where she graduated in 2022. Since then, she has been a post-graduate student of Prof. Anne Neukamp and has had numerous exhibitions in both Germany, Italy, Spain and the Czech Republic. Durighello lives and works in Dresden.
