Primo Marella Gallery

Contemporary Art Gallery Founded in 1993, Primo Marella Gallery has witnessed a big expansion over the years.

In December 2004 the gallery opened a new space in Beijing inside the prosperous 798 Art Factory Area, followed in 2007 by the opening of a new venue in Milan designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Claudio Silvestrin, who is responsible for the realization of many contemporary art locations worldwide, among which Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin and White Cube Gallery in Lo

ndon. From the very beginning Primo Marella Galleries have been committed to the promotion and documentation of emerging artists and movements coming from different areas outside Europe, both through the organization of shows and the publication of books and catalogues, with the help and collaboration of local curators and critics. Starting with China in the late Nineties, the focus of the gallery’s programs has touched different emerging areas, from Russia to India and from South East Asia to, more recently, Africa, always with the precise goal to pioneer in the presentation of such complex and constantly evolving artistic scenes both in Europe and Beijing and to gain the attention of museums, institutions and collectors for these emerging artists.

Exploring Marco Mazzucconi’s practice through the series of works titled “L’Informale visto dall’uomo e visto dal cane”, presented in One Art, Please! — the duo exhibition with Marco Mazzucconi and Stefano Arienti, curated by Maria Vittoria Baravelli at Primo Marella Gallery Lugano  L’informale visto dall’uomo e dal cane reflects on perception and on the language of abstract painting through an ironic and ambiguous perspective. By suggesting different ways of seeing — human and animal — the series questions the idea of a single, stable interpretation of the image.

Gesture, material, and abstraction are approached both seriously and playfully, transforming Informal painting into a reflection on vision, meaning, and the instability of representation.

As part of the urban renewal of the Gratte-Ciel district in Villeurbanne, France, Joël Andrianomearisoa creates a permanent installation named VERS LE VERT for or a SYTRAL Mobilités metro station on the TCL network.

Responding to the architectural vision of Richez Associés, the artist explores the concept of an imaginary underground forest, situated beneath the roots of 300 trees currently being planted on the surface. Andrianomearisoa’s work unfolds across the platforms like a line of breath, where words gather fragments of stories, desire, and melancholy.

The installation is composed of ten sculptural elements integrated into the oval openings of the central wall. These pieces create a dual perspective for commuters, visible from both the platforms toward Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie and Lyon-Perrache. Through a lexicon of nature and desire, the artist transforms the functional space of the metro into a territory of emotions, a place where everyday life recovers the possibility of poetic resonance.

Alternative Practices And Unbound Forms: African Artists Across Recent Biennales

📍 Primo Marella Gallery, Milan

Due to the strong interest received, the exhibition has been extended, offering visitors additional time to discover this selection of artists and their innovative approaches to materiality, form, and contemporary expression.

Don’t miss the chance to visit the exhibition and explore how these artists transform materials, space, and perception, revealing the new directions that define contemporary African art today.

With works by: Joël Andrianomearisoa, Hako Hankson, Abdoulaye Konaté, Tegene Kunbi, Esther Mahlangu, Troy Makaza, Moffat Takadiwa, and Samuel Nnorom.

The exhibition explores contemporary African practices, where materials move beyond traditional support to become both language and structure. Through unconventional media – residual, organic, and industrial – artists shape meaning via layering, accumulation, and tension.

Recent international biennales mark a key shift: once peripheral, African artists now play a central role in redefining global contemporary discourse, as highlighted by their participation in major exhibitions, including the latest Venice Biennale.

Last days to visit!  JOËL ANDRIANOMEARISOA

LE PALAIS DES VENTS

Museum of Fine Arts, Gifu, Japan
On view until June 14, 2026

Primo Marella Gallery is pleased to share Joël Andrianomearisoa’s participation in the group exhibition Blows Like a Monsoon: Contemporary Afro-Asian Arts on the Great Journey and Exchange at the Museum of Fine Arts in Gifu, Japan.

For the occasion, the artist presents Le Palais des Vents, a new body of work inspired by the traditional Japanese folding screen (byōbu) and created using vintage kimonos sourced in Kyoto. Through textile, memory, and poetic abstraction, the series reflects on the historical and cultural exchanges that have connected Africa and Asia across the Indian Ocean for centuries.

The exhibition explores these ancient routes of movement and encounter, bringing together contemporary artistic practices alongside historical Japanese folding screens from the Edo period. Conceived as a reflection on identity, migration, and cultural dialogue, Blows Like a Monsoon invites visitors to reconsider the richness of human creativity through the lens of exchange and transformation.

One Art, please!

The duo exhibition by Marco Mazzucconi and Stefano Arienti, curated by Maria Vittoria Baravelli, is current on view📍at Primo Marella Gallery Lugano

About the exhibition:

The project emerges from a dialogue between two artists who came of age during the same moment in Italian art, between the late 1980s and early 1990s, and who have since developed distinct yet intersecting practices shaped by a number of shared concerns.

The exhibition does not seek a definitive synthesis between the two artists, but instead allows a dialogue of proximities, frictions, and resonances to emerge. Through these works, One Art, Please! constructs a field of relationships between artwork and reproduction, frame and image, gesture and surface, memory and transformation.

High and low, art history and everyday materials, irony and gravity coexist without cancelling one another out.

At the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, Tegene Kunbi represents Ethiopia with “Shapes of Silence”, an exhibition curated by Abebaw Ayalew with assistant curator Yohannes Mulat Mekonnen.

Above are detailed views of “Golden Dawn”, one of the most monumental and visually striking works featured in the exhibition!

The curatorial framework of Shapes of Silence approaches silence as a social and political condition. Within this context, painting becomes a space where established hierarchies between language, image, and material are both enacted and unsettled, opening up a sensorial and embodied mode of experience.

Through works that range from monumental to intimate in scale, and through their powerful material presence, Kunbi’s practice unfolds as a physical archive of gestures, temporalities, and relationships — inviting a sustained encounter that reaches beyond the limits of language.
