The Nivola Museum is proud to present Fly Look Build, a site-specific project by Nathalie Du Pasquier, a French artist and designer based in Milan.

Specially designed for the museum spaces, the exhibition is conceived as a retrospective dedicated to the artist's painting production from the beginnings to the present day. At the same time, it is an environmental installation that blends painting, architecture, and design. The exhibition path unfolds through a series of structures designed by the artist that transform the museum environment into a space to cross, explore, and inhabit.

The exhibition thus initiates a dialogue between the artist's ephemeral architectures and the historical structure of the building - the former washhouse of Orani, now the beating heart of the Nivola Museum.

Within these "rooms" and on the museum walls, works created from the 1980s to the present find a place, telling the evolution of Du Pasquier's visual language: a lexicon of figuration and abstraction, where human figures and narrative dimension gradually give way to the theme of still lifes, made of simple and everyday objects, delicately evoking human presence, and then moving on to geometric shapes and abstract constructions. All bathed in a meridian light that gives the paintings a metaphysical air, as if we were in front of modern versions of Morandi's canvases or, in other ways, of the purist works of Le Corbusier and Ozenfant.

The title, Fly Look Build, refers to three phases of Du Pasquier's painting production. Fly evokes the moment of detachment from the design of objects towards the freer practice of painting. It is no coincidence that many of the works from this phase depict scenes seen from above, with a bird's-eye perspective, symbolizing the power of imagination, its ability to soar high and expand freely.
