Visual Elements: The artwork features a vibrant, abstract composition in shades of pink and red. The dominant shapes are jagged and angular, creating a dynamic and energetic visual effect. The overall composition has a sense of balance and symmetry.

Davide Stucchi’s artistic research makes use of minimal interventions, often ones of subtraction or alteration, on preexisting materials. His installations evoke absent bodies that interact with vulnerable objects in the intimacy of spaces sculpted by intimate and private feelings and memories. The comparison with external realities such as fashion, advertising and the domestic environment in Stucchi’s works, serves as an expedient for the deconstruction of social and gender representations.

Deborah Schamoni is a contemporary art gallery based in Munich, Germany.
Situated in a 1970s villa, the gallery is able to offer its artists a spacious white cube, flooded with daylight and opening up to a greened outdoor area, as well as an independent smaller room.
Since its founding in 2013, the gallery has focused on showing and supporting emerging international artists and it presents an exceptional program that unites international positions with a subversive and self-reflexive approach to art making considering the complexity of human coexistence.
The gallery often stages the first shows of upcoming international artists in Germany. The program is developing a distinct profile with artists like Maryam Hoseini, Yong Xiang Li, and Flaka Haliti, who investigate the sociopolitical conditions of queer identity and gender, and share a diasporic experience in their works.
Beyond its international focus, the gallery has been playing an important part in establishing Munich as a prominent destination for contemporary art and its discourses. ...
