This exhibition is the Peruvian artist's first solo show ever presented in London and in the United Kingdom. Realised in collaboration with the Archivio Jorge Eielson and with the Centro Studi Jorge Eielson in Florence, brings together a series of highly significant examples of Eielson's work, to retrace the key stages in his creative career. The show is intended to emphasize the persuasive relevance of Eielson’s poetics in its global communicative dimension, also proven by being a source of inspiration for the Peruvian pavilion at the last Venice Architecture Biennale in 2018. In order to recreate the context where Eielson's artistic maturation took place, the exhibition also features works by some Italian artists from the post-war decades, which seem particularly revealing of the multiple identities of the artist’s work: research on matter, sign and spatiality of the form, exemplified by authors like Lucio Fontana, Giuseppe Capogrossi, Salvatore Scarpitta, Enrico Castellani, Agostino Bonalumi.
