Materia Madre / Lingua Madre — Galleria Erica Ravenna, Rome

Period: 12 May – 30 September 2026

Galleria Erica Ravenna presents Materia Madre / Lingua Madre, a group exhibition curated by Benedetta Carpi De Resmini that examines matter and language as living processes. The show highlights works that reveal transformation, semantic regeneration and the overlap between nature and culture.

Artists and works

• Cyril de Commarque – explorations of natural traces and environmental data translated into essential forms.
• Laura Pugno – the "Persuasioni" series, using sand as pigment to probe coastal balances.
• Gaia Scaramella – small ceramic figures from the "Matribus" series, poised between birth and fall.
• Lucia Veronesi – monotypes and embroideries that convert scientific language into a poetic lexicon.

Materials and themes

• Materials: wood, sand pigment, ceramics, monotype, embroidery, paper sculpture.
• Themes: metamorphosis, the organic versus the cultural, pre-verbal identities, ecological implications of transformation.

Visiting tips

The installation is conceived as a sensory route: a slow, attentive reading of the works is recommended to appreciate layers of matter, mark and word. Several pieces benefit from close observation to perceive material details and techniques.
