Lulù Nuti (1988, Levallois-Perret) lives and works in Rome. After spending her childhood in Rome, Nuti moved to Paris in 2006 to attend the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, graduating in 2012. Since then, she has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions, both in galleries
(GALERIE CHLOE SALGADO, Renata Fabbri, Galleria Alessandra Bonomo, Galleria Mazzoli, Postmasters, etc.) and institutions (Villa Medici, Musée des Beaux-Arts d’Angers, Fondazione Nicola Del Roscio, Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma, Museo Camusac, Collezione La Gaia, Galleria nazionale d'arte moderna e contemporanea, etc.).

Entitled "Tube", the exhibition will mark her return to France after numerous institutional exhibitions in Italy. The artists continues to investigate the properties of iron, a material she sculpts and transforms into a moving body, whose initial rigidity gives way to more organic forms.

Her approach will remain rooted in an intellectual and sensitive engagement with matter, which becomes a vehicle for a poetic language where the intimate merges with generational inquiries. More broadly, Lulù Nuti questions the relationships between humans and their environment, and her work becomes a space for projection, where viewers can nestle and let their gaze read a landscape that is both gentle yet harsh, familiar yet chaotic.

Quite often, the work, with its rounded and symmetrical forms, evokes ancient symbols that preceded scientific inquiry, yet, due to their analogical rather than analytical nature, seem to anticipate some of today's most celebrated theories: the self-generation and self-sufficiency of a universe that self-fertilizes to endlessly repeat a cycle of expansion and contraction.
