Down In The Woods, Up To The Sky at Double Q Gallery

Double Q Gallery is pleased to present our first exhibition of 2023, “Down in the woods, up to the sky.”⁠

Curated by Domenico de Chirico, the group exhibition is inspired by Henry David Thoreau's 1854 book, “Walden; or, Life in the Woods,” which is about returning to nature and simplicity.

In conversation with Domenico de Chirico:

”When I decided the exhibition topic and its title, I immediately worked on the selection of artists based on their artistic practice and their own both intellectual and aesthetic flexibility. All invited artists have in some way a very strong connection with themes such as nature and gestures.

The relationship between all the works in the exhibition has been structured on the basis of the request to understand and to interpret the theme of the exhibition in a very free way without ever betraying the artistic identities of each of them. They were all called upon to interpret an apparently very common but currently extremely important theme which is crucial to the fate of the world. Each of them has elegantly and generously given us a unique vision in harmony with all the others. We could consider this exhibition as a new way of breathing.”
