La Cavin-Morris Gallery di New York presenta una nuova mostra personale di Simone Pellegrini: intitolata “Aliosso”, sarà aperta dal 2 aprile al 16 maggio 2026.

La galleria lavora da 40 anni con artisti contemporanei provenienti da tutto il mondo, specializzandosi in ricerche e pratiche non convenzionali. La collaborazione con Simone Pellegrini è iniziata nel 2020 e, dopo la sua prima mostra personale nel 2022, si è evoluta in un nuovo focus dedicato alle sue opere su carta di grandi dimensioni realizzate negli ultimi anni, fino alle inedite del 2026.

«It is significant that Pellegrini’s mother was an archaeologist who often took him to the digs she was working on when he was a child.  Strata or layers of earth do not always adhere to a temporal logic. The globe itself can shift and shake and move objects over time in an ancient and glorious percussive improvisation, changing configurations and leaving spatial relationships temporary or accidental.

Displacement can be determined externally on the surface by rain or wind or flood and internally by igneous movement and the slow grinding shift of layers through time, moving and changing the congruities of buried or hidden man-made objects both monumental and personally small, secular and spiritual. Pellegrini becomes a force of Nature as he uses these seemingly random arrangements of ambiguous yet familiar forms to create charts of the history of human imagination.  They are chart-like drawings or drawing-like charts.

In his drawings ambiguity becomes its own raw definitive.  This is endemic to a mythological world view.  Pelligrini’s drawings are an intriguing and compelling form of visual language, not quite asemic because asemic exists in a negation of meaning and there is nothing in a drawing by Pelligrini that indicates it has NO meaning, nothing that says it denies its own existence. Asemic means without specific meaning.

[…] Pellegrini’s forms are deeper than words, they awaken dream forms in his viewer— they are a different, more mysterious form of communication, beyond writing. They are the multilayered communications on the walls of the human skull-cave.»
