Paris | Sandro Chia. Le trait et la matière
208 Boulevard Saint Germain - 75007 Paris 6 Jan - 28 Feb 2025 In an explosion of colors, lines that tell stories, and shapes that chase each other across glossy surfaces, the Galleria d'Arte Maggiore g.a.m. is hosting a solo exhibition by Sandro Chia at its Paris location. Chia is one of the leading figures of Transavanguardia, a movement born in the 1980s in New York from a group of Italian artists aiming to revive figuration and narration-key characteristics of Italian art history and tradition. In Chia's case, figure and narrative unfold not only in painting but also in sculpture, mosaic, and ceramics. In this context, the Galleria Maggiore presents alongside some majestic painted canvases a selection of works created for Chia's important solo exhibition at the Museo Internazionale della Ceramica in Faenza (2011) - realized with the contribution of Maggiore g.a.m. - where painting and ceramics blend into a poetic continuum.
