Exhibition Details

 

In the sunlight, I am calm, I am content. In the sea, I sink down. Resting my head on the warm stones, I am happy. The Beautiful Summer by Cesare Pavese.
This summer, Gallery FUMI presents Casa al Mare - a group exhibition that transports visitors to the charming world of a seaside home with a selection of unique and limited-edition works by our roster of artists & designers.
Sand decorates the windows where works are displayed as if emerging from the beach, much like finding hidden treasures along the shore. An anthropomorphic ocean’s wave wraps around a wall in a bespoke mural by Saelia Aparicio, painted in the artist’s signature whimsical language.
The works are woven with narrative and demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship. Highlights include the latest Dreamcatcher by Rowan Mersh, a suspended sculpture made of hundreds of sliced seashells meticulously sewn together, and Mollusk by Kustaa Saksi, a tapestry depicting diverse forms found beneath the ocean’s surface and crafted with Japanese Mino Washi paper and viscose derived from wood pulp.
Like ripples on water, a coffee table from the Fuzz series by Study O Portable is made from multiple layers of pigmented jesmonite in hues of sandy white and aquamarine blue. A stool from the Armadillo series by Lukas Wegwerth and Corinna Dehn is wrapped in sculpted and pigmented wooden shingles, in a reimagining of the traditional use of shingles in forest-rich regions for roofing and cladding.
