A curation by Giorgia Munaron, gallery director at contemporary art gallery - Unstable Bodies brings together a selection of contemporary figurative works in which the human body becomes a site of emotional, psychological, and existential pressure.
Here the body is not represented as an ideal form, but as a fragile and unstable presence, shaped by internal states rather than external narratives.
Through distorted poses, suspended gestures and intimate atmospheres, the selected artists explore vulnerability, identity and silent forms of resistance.
Painting becomes a tool for recording tension, hesitation and emotional weight, transforming the figure into a sensitive surface.
These bodies seem trapped between exposure and withdrawal, strength and fragility.
The works invite the viewer to interact with the body as an expressive field in which emotions are embodied rather than described.
In this space, figurative language becomes a way to access what remains unresolved and profoundly human.
