Piotr Uklański. Faux Amis

From 31/10/2025 to 06/04/2026
Culture & Tradition

Invited to propose a project interacting with the Pinacoteca's Permanent Collection, the Polish artist chose to interact with the entire Scrigno space, in a sometimes provocative game of assonances, references and relationships with his paintings, installations and photographs.

 

The title of the exhibition, Faux Amis (False Friends), a French expression describing two words that sound similar but have very different meanings, anticipates how Uklański contrasts his works with those of Bernardo Bellotto, Henri Matisse, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Antonio Canova and Edouard Manet: the artist outlines similarities that are often based on the pictorial genre and formal and iconographic references, referring to complex and layered interpretations of history.
