KNOKKE art air

A multitude of flowers, painted and repeated over the years by Azeri artist Niyaz Najafov, encounter Italian Luca Resta’s repeating, meticulous gestures and their displacement of the shape and function of objects.  Now together, these two artists intermingle still lives, transforming the booth into a rarefied space where sharp irony and beauty dominate obsessions and layers of meaning. Beyond this, both artists work with found or reused material and question the vernacular while referencing renowned painters.
