Ruby Neri: Chorus
MASSIMODECARLO is delighted to present Chorus, Ruby Neri鈥檚 debut solo exhibition with the gallery and her first in the UK. Chorus unfolds a surreal garden scene - part ritual, part dance, part escape. Neri鈥檚 sculptural works and accompanying drawings conjure a space that is both vividly alive and curiously introspective.
Neri鈥檚 compact compositions feature tightly choreographed figures, sculpted as if they were bouquets - female bodies twisting, melding, and blooming into floral arrangements. These works are celebratory yet cathartic, inviting us into an emotionally complex scenario that reflects the artist鈥檚 perspective as a woman in contemporary society.
Chorus carries a Shakespearean sensibility - an English garden reimagined through the lens of a playwright, where artifice and intimacy coexist. Neri鈥檚 ceramic sculptures form a 鈥渇ence of girls,鈥 a choreography of figures that simultaneously invite and guard. Defying traditional functionality, these vessels act as both barriers and gateways, their forms shielding fragile interior narratives. Each figure鈥檚 stance, glaze, and gesture evoke vulnerability, masked by a fa莽ade - an emotional sleight of hand that teeters between deflection and revelation.
