Ornaghi & Prestinari
Sbilenco, 2025
Acrílico sobre lienzo de lino
88,5 x 88,5 x 6 cm.

«Sbilenco» es una pintura que cuestiona la idea de equilibrio y simetría a través de un gesto deliberadamente imperfecto. La obra se presenta como un cuadro enmarcado colgado intencionadamente de forma torcida, en el que un patrón geométrico —inicialmente ordenado— se va desequilibrando progresivamente. Esta desviación formal introduce una tensión visual que transforma la estructura compositiva en un elemento inestable y ambiguo.

La irregularidad se convierte así en un recurso poético capaz de subvertir la percepción de normalidad, generando una sutil sensación de inquietud. En Sbilenco, el orden y la disfuncionalidad coexisten, dando forma a un espacio de incertidumbre en el que la precisión geométrica se abre al error como una posibilidad generativa

En exhibición en Giunti (Juntas) de Ornaghi & Prestinari en nuestro espacio de Ibiza.

Ornaghi & Prestinari
Sbilenco, 2025
Acrylic on linen canvas
88,5 x 88,5 x 6 cm.

Sbilenco is a painting that questions the idea of balance and regularity through a gesture of deliberate imperfection. The work appears as a framed picture intentionally hung askew, in which a geometric pattern—initially orderly—becomes progressively unbalanced. This formal deviation introduces a visual tension that transforms the compositional structure into an unstable and ambiguous element.

Irregularity thus becomes a poetic device capable of undermining the perception of normality, generating a subtle sense of unease. In Sbilenco, order and dysfunction coexist, shaping a space of uncertainty in which geometric precision opens itself to error as a generative possibility

Giunti (Juntas)

Appunti, 2025
Wood, gesso, Armenian bole, pigments P87U, pure gold leaf, punching on panel
50 x 50 cm.

Each panel is created through the partial covering of the surface with pure gold leaf, subsequently incised using a star-like screwdriver tip. The first phase of the process involved preparing the surface according to the ancient technique of water gilding, as described by Cennino Cennini. The work emerges from a time of meditation, from successive layers, and from a careful, measured gesture.

At a later stage, the decision to intervene with punch marks made using a screwdriver responds to the desire to establish a connection with a tool associated to crafting, evoking a poetic dialogue between worlds that appear distant from one another. The gold leaf, which does not entirely cover the surface as it did in altarpieces intended for the representation of the sacred, instead suggests an idea of imperfection intimately connected to human nature.

Adapted from a conversation with Ian Wallace on the occasion of the opening of Rehearsing Reality: Constructing the Present.

In Paris 2000 (Passage Verdeau) I & II, Wallace returns to Paris through the architectural figure of the passage. The work is informed by his long-standing engagement with the writings of Walter Benjamin, particularly Benjamin’s reflections on the Parisian arcades, the modern city, and dialectical thought.

The diptych presents both the exterior and interior of Passage Verdeau, one of the covered passages that emerged in nineteenth-century Paris and anticipated the spatial logic of the modern shopping mall. Wallace describes these spaces as “interior streets in the city,” places where public life, commerce, architecture, and display converge.

The work establishes what Wallace calls “a formal relationship of interior and exterior.” The darker image is placed against a lighter ground, while the lighter exterior view appears against black, creating a visual opposition between inside and outside, light and dark, image and support.

Through this tension, Wallace approaches the city not simply as subject matter, but as a structure of historical and spatial contradiction

On view until April 30, 2026.
Open by appointment only on May 1 and 2.

Jeff Wall
Trap Set, 2021

In Trap Set, Jeff Wall records a baited animal trap positioned along a suburban creek in Vancouver during mink season on a frozen February day. Distributed within the landscape in a sparse configuration, the device defines the space through placement and interval rather than action.

Belonging to Wall’s documentary practice, the image presents a situation structured by waiting. One of the earliest tools devised by humans, the trap introduces a condition of anticipation in which the scene is defined less by event than by the possibility of its occurrence.

Jeff Wall
Trap Set, 2021

En Trap Set, Jeff Wall registra una trampa para animales cebada, situada a orillas de un arroyo en las afueras de Vancouver durante la temporada de visones, en un día helado de febrero. Distribuido en el paisaje en una disposición austera, el dispositivo define el espacio a través de su ubicación y del intervalo, más que de la acción.

Perteneciente a la práctica documental de Wall, la imagen presenta una situación estructurada por la espera. Una de las primeras herramientas concebidas por el ser humano, la trampa introduce una condición de anticipación en la que la escena queda definida no tanto por el acontecimiento como por la posibilidad de que este ocurra.

Last days to visit Rehearsing Reality: Constructing the Present, the duo exhibition by Jeff Wall and lan Wallace.

Don’t miss the closing moments of this encounter with two defining voices in contemporary art. Both Wall and Wallace
engage the city not simply as subject matter, but as a testing ground where the social, the architectural, and the everyday become legible through constructed images. Their works operate in the productive tension between observation and staging, between the documentary impulse and the deliberate orchestration of the scene. In this sense, “rehearsal” becomes a method: a way of composing reality so that its structures of labour, class, visibility, and power can be seen and questioned.

-

Últimos días para visitar Rehearsing Reality: Constructing the
Present, la exposición dual de Jeff Wall y lan Wallace.
No te pierdas este diálogo entre dos de las voces más decisivas del arte contemporáneo y el fotoconceptualismo. Tanto Wall como Wallace abordan la ciudad no solo como tema, sino también como campo de experimentación donde lo social, lo arquitectónico y lo cotidiano aparecen a través de imágenes construidas. Sus obras se nutren de la tensión creativa que surge entre la observación y la puesta en escena, entre lo documental y la orquestación deliberada de la imagen. En este sentido, el “ensayo” se convierte en método: en una forma de construir la realidad para cuestionar sus estructuras de trabajo, clase, visibilidad y poder.

Hasta el 30 de abril de 2026.
Y bajo cita previa los dias 1 y 2 de mayo.

Esperamos darles la bienvenida.

Giunti (Juntas)

Nebbia, 2025–2026
Acrylic ink on silkscreen printing mesh, wood

In Nebbia, Ornaghi & Prestinari work with a semi-transparent silkscreen mesh stretched over wooden frames, introducing a surface that is both image and filter. Positioned in relation to the gallery’s windows, the works function as permeable screens that modulate the incoming light, subtly altering the perception of the space.

The image, a still life of glue jars originally conceived as an etching, is articulated through fine white and orange hatch marks. Transposed onto the mesh, the motif appears suspended, losing its material density and shifting in relation to light and background.

The mesh operates as a threshold rather than a support, where visibility remains partial and unstable. The work recalls the filtering devices used by Giorgio Morandi to regulate light in his studio, establishing a similar attention to the conditions through which an image is perceived.

“Giunti (Juntas)” will be on view until May 23rd.

We’re pleased to share a behind-the-scenes look at the development of ‘gleich-zeitig’, produced by ArtWorks, for Luísa Jacinto’s upcoming exhibition at Kunst-Station Sankt Peter, Cologne.

Developed for the church interior, the work unfolds as a fluid, site specific installation where painting, sculpture and spatial gesture converge. A lightweight fabric, painted and embroidered by the artist, is suspended through a custom designed structure, allowing the piece to extend and transform continuously in space. Extending approximately 12 meters across the nave, the installation reflects a precise process of testing and adjustment between form, tension and scale.

As curator Guido Schlimbach writes:
“During the Easter period, the Kunst-Station Sankt Peter presents an exhibition by the Portuguese artist Luísa Jacinto (b. 1984). She uses various materials such as thread, fabric, metal, spray paint, watercolour, loose pigments and rubber membrane. For the church interior, which Jacinto first visited and explored ten years ago, she has created a fluid work specific to the space, revealing an increasingly blurred boundary between painting, sculpture and installation. In ‘gleich-zeitig’, Luísa Jacinto invites the audience to engage in a play of observation, perception and attention in order to explore new frontiers of seeing.”

Teso, 2025
Wood (pear, maple, lime, chestnut, oak), painted wood, glass, rope, lake stone

In Teso, Ornaghi & Prestinari construct a system in which tension operates as both a physical and structural principle. A rope, held taut by the counterweight of a stone, sustains a sequence of carved wooden elements, maintaining them in a condition of suspended equilibrium.

The work develops through the precise calibration of forces, where each component contributes to the overall balance. The stone anchors the system through weight, while the rope translates this force into tension, allowing the wooden objects to remain in position without fixed support. Stability is achieved not through rigidity, but through the continuous negotiation between opposing elements.

The carved forms, derived from domestic objects, retain a familiarity that is subtly displaced within this arrangement. Removed from their usual context and function, they become part of a larger structure governed by relation rather than use. Their presence is defined by how they are held, rather than by what they are.

What emerges is a controlled arrangement in which support is distributed rather than centralized. No single element determines the stability of the whole; instead, it arises from the interdependence of its parts. In this way, Teso articulates a condition of tension in which balance is maintained through the exact correspondence between weight, resistance, and position.

“Giunti (Juntas)” will be on view until May 23rd.
