Greta Ferretti, Olga Lepri, Sara Pacucci
From October 4 to December 20, 2025, Marignana Gallery is hosting the group exhibition Préludes o della forma in-attesa.
The group show presents the work of three young artists – Greta Ferretti, Olga Lepri, and Sara Pacucci – who, through painting, explore the theme of waiting as a space for poetic and artistic reflection. The three artists, all under 30, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice.
In music, Preludes are short pieces played in an impromptu manner. In opera, they are often performed with the curtain closed, before the actual piece begins. The paintings by Sara Pacucci, Greta Ferretti, and Olga Lepri presented in the exhibition each explore, from their own original perspective, this ‘space of the un-expected,’ where dream and reality, vision and concealment, memory and presence blur and merge to make room for the arrival of the unforeseen.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue featuring texts by Jonathan Molinari, available for purchase at this link.
