A curation by Rita Cerciello, Founder & Senior Curator at Independent Art Advisory - A lavish exploration of fleeting beauty and dark romanticism, inspired by the profound poetry of Charles Baudelaire. This curation breathes modern life into the classical traditions of the Vanitas and the Baroque still life. Opening with the striking symbolic decay of Yann Kempen’s Vanessa, Vanitas, alongside explicit contemporary homages to the French visionary, this selection features opulent floral arrangements, dramatic chiaroscuro, and monumental masterpieces emerging from deep, impenetrable shadows. Les Fleurs du mal is an uncompromising reflection on mortality and temptation, offering a deeply theatrical aesthetic that transforms the surrounding space into a realm of pure poetic decadence.
