From December 2 to 7, 2025, we will present the Italian artist duo Casagrande & Recalcati in a solo show at Art Miami 2025. At the heart of the presentation will be a 120 by 80 inch highlight piece that the duo will create specifically for the fair in the coming months.
The artist duo CASAGRANDE & RECALCATI, who live and work in Milan, feel a connection to the tradition of still life.The flower paintings, titled Hypervanitas, refer to the idea of baroque vanitas paintings, and their close connection with the ephemeral. The paintings are reflections of the inevitable passing of time and illustrate various stages of beauty in continuous metamorphosis. The artist duo, who has already worked for Dolce & Gabbana, skillfully celebrates beauty, materiality, and transience in their paintings. Their latest oil paintings on canvas depict lush, floral compositions that, on closer inspection, already seem to be slowly wilting. The paintings by the artist duo transport us to an imaginary Garden of Eden, which is subject to slow degradation. Here nature portrays itself as a morbid beauty. Everything is fleeting but preserved thanks to the meticulous art of painting.
