ABC-ARTE is pleased to present the dual exhibition Metamorphoses by Chiara Crepaldi and Melania Toma, featuring critical contributions by Domenico de Chirico and Flaminio Gualdoni.
What unites the two artists is a sense of fluidity and the transformation of forms into a continuum, free from rigid conceptual constraints. This approach allows the emergence of deeply personal and imaginative elements in their works.
Chiara Crepaldi’s sculptures and monotypes, a hallmark of contemporary sculpture, are poetic fantasies rooted in her mastery of metals. She transforms materials like metal and malleable clay into spatial abodes for visions where matter is not mere quantity but a quality imbued with intense, subtle narrative vibrations.
On the other hand, Melania Toma’s paintings emerge as permeable, pulsating, and mutable compositions. Through her organic, layered works, Toma challenges dichotomies between nature and culture, beauty and imperfection, offering a universe where differences dissolve into a continuous and opulent process of alteration, enriched by archaic symbols and personal myths.
Metamorphoses will be on view from January 30 to March 21 at our Milan location, ABC-ARTE ONE OF, Via Santa Croce 21, Milan.
The vernissage will take place on Thursday, January 30, starting at 6:30 PM.
