Folds of Painting

Nando Stevoli

11/2-12/27/2025

The exhibition Folds of Painting presents the latest research by Nando Stevoli, focused on the surface as a system, where painting transforms into structure, space, and light.

Drawing on the postwar avant-gardes from Informalism to Conceptual Art  Stevoli explores the overcoming of traditional painterly gesture, reaching an autonomous language based on subtraction, logic, and repetition.

His painting emancipates itself from gesture and representation to become a pure pictorial object, a threshold between fullness and emptiness, light and shadow. Here, the surface is no longer a support but a living organism, a field of tensions generating order and silence.

Stevoli’s works unfold as folds, tangible landscapes of light and matter,  evoking tactile architectures, rhythmic modules, and spatial scores. The artist questions material by letting it “happen,” without manipulation, restoring to painting a contemplative and impersonal sacredness.

In Folds of Painting, art no longer represents but builds itself as a system: not gesture but structure, not narrative but formalized time, not painted space but a field of light.

An inquiry into form that, by folding upon itself, reveals the essence of seeing.
