\nSim\u00f3ndi Gallery, founded in 2023 by Francesca Simondi, represents the continuation of the cultural
\nresearch started by Alberto Peola in 1989 in Turin. From its beginnings, the gallery\u2019s attention has
\nalways been focused on young and emerging artists, combining attention to the Italian art scene and dialogue with leading figures on the European and International stage. Alberto Peola was the first in Italy to show the work of Botto&Bruno in 1996, Martin Creed in 1999, Lala Meredith-Vula in 2002, Michael Rakowitz in 2006, and Emily Jacir in 2007. Always alert to new trends that find personal narrative solutions through various expressive mediums, from photography to painting to videos to installations, the gallery has consistently collaborated with artists who have earned numerous international awards and recognitions and have featured in museums, biennials, and contemporary art events.
\nIn September 2023, after three years of shared management between Peola and Simondi, Peola Simondi Gallery changed its name to Sim\u00f3ndi, which Francesca Simondi continues independently. The curatorial approach continues to develop its research line aimed at promoting the work of artists who, despite the diversity of geopolitical contexts to which they refer, address themes ranging from environmental issues to the interaction between diverse cultures, from political and social tensions to the reinterpretation of the historical memory of places and communities.<\/p>\n

\nCHIARA
\nBAIMA POMA<\/p>\n
\nThe predominant themes of Chiara Baima Poma\u2019s works are the sense of identity and the attraction to ancestral and spiritual forms such as myth, fable, andreligions. The interaction of all these elements contaminates each other, giving life to a visual narrative of our present, which investigates the artist\u2019s sense of identity and belonging. Baima Poma looks to the great masters of Italian Gothic painting. In fact, references to Giotto, Simone Martini, Duccio di Buoninsegna, Giovanni da Milano, Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti are evident in her works.<\/p>\n
\nChiara Baima Poma (Cuorgn\u00e8 – TO, 1990). She graduated in 2010 from the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti in Turin. She lives and works in Gran Canaria.
\nIn 2022, she won the Global Talent Art Prize. In the same year, she exhibited at
\nGreen Alley Studios and Black White Gallery in London, where she returned in
\n2023 with the solo exhibition It Costs To Be Austere. In 2023, she presented
\nher works at the Ely Center of Contemporary Art in New Haven, Connecticut, in
\nthe exhibition Embodied Knowledge. In 2023 took place her solo exhibition at
\nSim\u00f3ndi Gallery (Turin), Mirrors for larks.<\/p>\n
\nPaolo Bini experiments with painting, constantly renewing his expressive artistic language. He reassesses materials and processes through a perceptive, meticulous exploration of the primary elements of painting, light and color, which achieve a new emotionally-charged fusion in his work. This results in open works, emotional landscapes and scenes \u2013 places of the self that can open new
\nspaces and windows to the world. Bini\u2019s art ranges from painting to installation.<\/p>\n

\nGregorio Botta (Naples, 1953). After his first solo show at the Segno Gallery in Rome (1991) he received great attention from critics on the occasion of various exhibitions, such as Transparencies of Italian art on the silk road curated by Achille Bonito Oliva, Beijing (1993); XII Quadriennale, Rome (1996); National Gallery of Modern Art, Rome (1998).

\nStoian\u2019s research is strongly connected to her own personal experience. Through plentiful cycles of works, she recounts the memory of her homeland, of places steeped in drama as a result of natural events, such as a devastating earthquake, or a civil war along a border marked by a river. In her canvases we can find no drawing, no horizon line or fixed points of reference. The colour is a stain, a glaze, a figuration that becomes abstraction. Nothing is fixed and defined. The elaboration of such themes as conflict, displacement from one\u2019s homeland, the weight of an uncertain future, involves the perception of an intimate, conflicting and permeable boundary between isolation and sociality, freedom and restrictions, the acceptance of the idea of vulnerability and of limit that the developed western world struggles to accept.

\nLauren Wy investigates the desiring body and psyche as a fractal narrative generated by embodied experience and manifested with process and color. Auto-theory frameworks, born from feminist writing and activism, inform her critical
\nand artistic practice. Wy builds stories from fragments found in both real and
\ndigital spaces, focusing on the use of esoteric media to speak of the relationship
\nbetween disclosure and exposure in the present and future climate and political crises. Her work centers on the femme, the animal, and the landscape as
\nsubjects, treating each with ennui and bacchanal chaos themes.
