Novalis Art Design is pleased to present Primitive, Studio Nucleo’s first solo show in Hong Kong showcasing the ‘Primitive’ series. The exhibition is kindly supported by the Italian Cultural Institute in Hong Kong and is part of BODW in the city. The artist will be present at the opening reception.

By synthesizing past influences with forward-thinking vision, Studio Nucleo creates objects that are both surprising and deeply grounded. Their Primitive series exemplifies this ethos, transcending conventional boundaries to merge functional design with sculptural art. In these pieces, shape, texture, and colour intertwine to form a dramatic juxtaposition of geometric forms, establishing a dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation.
In recent years, Studio Nucleo’s work has taken on new urgency in the face of the climate crisis. While their practice has long embedded craftsmanship and local materials, there is now a deeper focus on sustainability, particularly using recycled and recyclable materials. The Primitive series reflects a growing commitment to ecological responsibility, integrating principles of the circular economy into their design process. By rethinking the life cycle of their materials, Nucleo offers a new, more environmentally conscious model for contemporary design and our lifestyle.

Opening 28 Nov 2024, 6 - 9 pm
