On Form
Opera Gallery is delighted to present On Form, a sculpture exhibition that questions the very essence of gesture and material. In this open, sometimes introspective dialogue, the works selected reflect the evolution of the practice of nine artists over several decades: Pablo Atchugarry, Fernando Botero, Robert Indiana, Anish Kapoor, Stephan Marienfeld, Pieter Obels, Niki de Saint Phalle, Manolo Valdés and Bernar Venet.
The exhibition will uncover the running dialogues amongst the various forms of sculptures, as they each embrace their own physicality, theatricality and materiality.
