Marignana Arte in Venice presents Subsidere, the first solo gallery exhibition by Stefano Cescon, which will open on Friday, March 27, 2026 from 4 to 8 p.m., on the occasion of the gallery weekend. The exhibition, which can be visited until April 25, brings together a selection of previously unseen works that reflect the artist’s research path, developed in recent years, focused on the relationship between matter, time and transformation.
Cescon, born in Pordenone in 1989, works between painting and sculpture, with a focus on the use of wax and pigments. In Subsidere, the central material becomes a tool for questioning the stability of form and the boundary between two traditionally distinct languages. The surfaces of the works are constructed by layering and calibrated interventions, the result of a slow and controlled sedimentation that returns slabs with organic veins. The result shows a balance between tonal painting and sculpture, suspended between permanence and transience, between mineral memory and human gesture.
The exhibition path proposes open visual configurations, in which time manifests itself through accumulation, suspension and variation. Matter, thus treated, becomes a site of reflection on change and perception, inviting the visitor to confront what is in constant transformation. In this logic, the focus is on the sensitive experience of matter and its relationship to time. Accompanying the exhibition, Jonathan Molinari has created a critical text that accompanies the visitor in the dialogue between work and viewer.
