In the Chiesa di San Rocco
Art exhibitions
Every year we ask artists with connections to Tuscany to do art exhibitions in the small 13th century church of Chiesa di San Rocco. The beautiful little church lies in front of Palazzo Tiglio and is still owned by the parish of San Pancrazio.
Chiesa di San Rocco
Chiesa di San Rocco is the oldest religious building in San Pancrazio built in the 13th century. This still ordained church is owned by the parish of San Pancrazio, that kindly offers it to us for art exhibitions during the summer months.

NATHALIA EDENMONT
Probing and provocative, the elaborately staged photographs of Nathalia Edenmont explore fundamental themes such as birth, death, womanhood, sex, beauty, and decay. Juxtaposing opposing subjects and aesthetics, Edenmont’s work is underpinned by a tension between painting and photography, abstraction and figuration, attraction and repulsion.
Born in Yalta, Crimea, 1970, Edenmont trained at State Art School of Kiev, Soviet Union, Simferopol State Art School, Crimea, and Forsberg’s International School of Design, Stockholm, Sweden. Her work has been exhibited throughout Europe and the United States and can be found in private and public collections globally including the Modern Museum Stockholm, Miami Art Museum and Moscow House of Photography Museum among others. In February 2014, Swedish public television broadcast a one hour documentary about Edenmont and her work. Edenmont has lived in Sweden since 1991.

GRIETJE SCHEPERS
Sleeping Gold
When the gold starts to breathe, as if its lungs inflate and deflate, our senses are thrown into overdrive as we try to understand the living heap. This supposedly inanimate object gets passers-by to pause in wonder… The golden being becomes our friendly companion; it transforms an empty space to a shared one.
Where technology supposedly dehumanizes our environment, in Sleeping Gold it has quite the opposite effect.
​
Since her graduation from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2008, Grietje Schepers set up her independent design practice. She creates large scale interior-defining installations from her studio in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
Expanding simple concepts into big gestures, Schepers is not afraid to take on a large space. This is strengthened by her experiments with proportion and scale. With ease in making a space feel informal and light, her architectural installations create impact with an interplay of colour and spaciousness.

About Existential Mirror:
​
A portrait of the artist gazing, either into the vast unknown outside of the canvas’ constraints, or directly onto the beholder. What lies behind the eyes? Do they yearn for knowledge, or do they hold within an understanding of life? Is the artist blind, or does he apprehend his sight? The self portraits invite the viewer to dabble with their meaning, to ask themselves if the paintings are asking questions or providing answers - or both.
