TRIO BIOGHAPHY /
01_Bu Shi (b. 1993, China) Lives and works in Ravenna, Italy.
Bu Shi often works on small-scale canvases. His muted and aged palette conjures up antique jewelry—delicately exquisite while bearing traces of use. Seal engraving and calligraphy that blossomed in his formative years have played a foundational role in his art. Living in Italy, he taps into primordial memories, using occult objects as keys to connect with people of old. To Bu Shi, only in the face of occultism can we dissociate or illuminate our cultural identities that are beyond our choosing. Shaping indescribable objects or sketching the extremely unnatural play of light, he seeks to present us with a sense of dissonance. If it prevails, we will discern a fleeting glimpse of occultism amid the scattered dissonance, much like awakening at twilight from a prolonged midday nap.

02_Elisa Bertaglia (b. 1983, Italy). Lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
Bertaglia addresses philosophical themes through an oneiric and eclectic language. She investigates the concept of symbol in contemporaneity exploring the worlds of nature, duality and memory, from both an intimate and shared perspective. Bertaglia’s new works on precious metals further her focus on the themes of threshold and metamorphosis: the metals, gold, rose gold and copper, reflect the same concept contained within the works in the very nature of the material. The precious metals emerge in their own luster, contrasting the opaque, murky coats of paint. They become not only the background of the painting, but a decisive part of the image with their reflective, iridescent surface.
03_ Pippa El-Kadhi Brown is a British-Iraqi,
Painter known for vibrant interior scenes that evoke warmth, familiarity, and emotional atmosphere. Her paintings construct inner-worlds shaped by sensation, touch and memory, like rooms still carrying the presence of those who inhabited them. Flattened perspectives and luminous, shifting colors create psychological spaces where sensation outweighs realism. Through layered patterns and unexpected palettes, nostalgia appears fluid and continuously forming rather than fixed. Her paintings become immersive environments that wrap around the viewer with quiet intimacy.
