Galleria Doris Ghetta is pleased to present Always turning, the first solo exhibition by Johannes Bosisio in Milan. The exhibition showcases a selection of recent works that focus on processes of fluidity and transformation, exploring the interstitial spaces where mutations and hybridizations occur, and where ambiguous forms acquire their own vitality, poised between the cold sharpness of metal and the soft sensuality of flesh.

Galleria Doris Ghetta is pleased to present Always turning, the first solo exhibition by Johannes Bosisio in Milan. The exhibition showcases a selection of recent works that focus on processes of fluidity and transformation, exploring the interstitial spaces where mutations and hybridizations occur, and where ambiguous forms acquire their own vitality, poised between the cold sharpness of metal and the soft sensuality of flesh. This dynamic emerges strongly in the large oil paintings of the Micro series, where metal plates are manipulated, photographed, and then translated into a painterly language. Meanwhile, in his drawings on paper, organic forms take on mechanical characteristics, suggesting an opposite trajectory that points to the same relentless transformation to which bodies—without hierarchy between living beings and inanimate objects—are subjected in a continuous cycle of creation, destruction, and regeneration. Everything unfolds on the surface plane, which serves not only as a space for careful layering of paint but also as a reference to the skin as the ultimate boundary between the body and the external world. It is, in fact, the artist’s own skin that appears, in a new series of small oil self-portraits, as a mask that can be torn as needed, revealing that specific sense of vulnerability recurring in Bosisio’s work—this time, brought back to his own body. The exhibition is accompanied by a curatorial essay by Alessandra Troncone.
