Art All Around – Ornare

ikigai

Presented by Ornare, “Art All Around” brings a deep connection between design, art, and culture. The initiative transforms the brand’s showrooms into living art galleries, establishing an innovative conversation between the diversity of contemporary art and furniture design while offering visitors an immersive, engaging experience.

AROUND THE WORLD

The project is currently on display in São Paulo, Milan, New Jersey, Miami, and Palm Beach, with plans to expand to other locations where Ornare is present. Art All Around celebrates the multiplicity of global talents through collaborations with prestigious galleries, bringing together expressions that reflect the richness of contemporary cultures, techniques, and languages. 

São Paulo – Flagship Store

A Gentil Carioca gallery proposes unique encounters between matter and language. Rodrigo Torres presents compositions that explore irony and everyday life, such as “Chá de Boldo”, a visual construction marked by subtle humor, and “Coroninha”, a glazed ceramic sculpture. Sallisa Rosa proposes an emotional cartography using iron oxide on ceramic and watercolors on 100% cotton paper. 

Jarbas Lopes presents “Pintura Elástica”, tensioned by colorful elastics in a graphic composition on a rigid surface, and “Geopaisagem”, where geometric fragments form an imaginary cartography from wooden elements. Maria Laet, with the bronze sculpture “Cabeça”, reveals a subjective portrait, while her works “Recostura” and “Limiar” explore pictorial interventions on fabric, suggesting subtle transitions between the visible and the hidden. José Bento, with the sculpture “Grão Rochinho”, highlights technical precision and the natural fluidity of form in a dense wooden piece. 

Luis Maluf Gallery presents works by Aline Moreno, who uses the raw essence of materials to create compositions in wood, stone, and oil on sensory surfaces. Antônio Bokel investigates tension in the sculpture “Quebra Galho”, where cement and bronze interact as resistance and rupture. 

Bárbara Basseto, with the work “Farei palavras de outras palavras”, transforms a pictorial gesture in oil on canvas into a visual archaeology. Janet Vollebregt presents “Pingente Opala Girassol” and “Spirit House”, made of quartz and brass, as contemporary amulets. 

Licida Vidal makes a striking statement with “Insularidade Salina”, composed of ceramic, glass, silicone, and seawater, where the boundaries between the natural and the artificial dissolve. Shizue Sakamoto proposes a painting that traverses time; oil on linen reveals ethereal atmospheres where the density of the gesture contrasts with the lightness of chromatic layers. 

Aura Gallery presents works by Fernanda Valadares, with the series “Carceri”, created using the encaustic technique on marine plywood panels. Carbono Gallery introduces a creation by Cecília Walton, who explores the interaction between wood and brass wire in a piece that appears suspended between lightness and structural tension. 

Raquel Arnaud Gallery builds a path through materiality and form. Among the highlights, works by Almandrade bring geometric compositions in corten steel and wood that challenge the linearity of space. Carlos Nunes presents a series of achromatic objects with “A Garrafa e o Tijolo”, which explores the tension between light, shadow, and surface. Tuneu stands out with a series of works that investigate visual rhythm, using iron, aluminum, and acrylic to construct a distinctive language. 

Individual contributions expand the curatorial narrative. Michelle Rosset invites introspection with the series “Cartas ao Leitor”, where words and images intertwine to question forms of communication. Her works “Pássaro”, “Fita”, and “Pictórica” explore alternative modes of expression. Patricia Carparelli presents the sculpture “Palavra”, where blown glass and bronze merge, appearing to float between dream and form. With an environmental approach, Lara Matana redefines materials in the works “Instantes”, “Sadhana XXVIII”, and the “Caleidoscópio” series, where the compositions reveal a reimagined nature. 

São Paulo – D&D Shopping

Carbono Gallery invites viewers into a visual immersion where subtlety meets critique. Dudi Maria Rosa reveals the lightness of gesture through a semi-pigmented ink print on paper. Barrão sculpts “Trinca Trio” in bronze, a piece defined by the balance between organic and geometric forms. Felippe Moraes challenges perception with “Canta Forte”, a lenticular backlit print that creates an optical interplay. 

In “Flor Rosa”, Amelia Toledo transforms sublimation on metal into a tactile experience. Janaina Tschape embroiders on cotton fabric in “Meu Jardim”. Cristina Canale presents “Mulher Nuvem”, a fine art collage that dissolves the contours of the body into poetic abstraction. 

In “Triplex”, Regina Silveira uses digital printing on glass combined with a metallic hook to question physical and conceptual limits. Paulo Bruscky brings his signature critical voice in “Arte Antiderrapante”, merging stamps and collage in a visual-linguistic game, and “Cópia Conforma Original”, a mirrored screenprint that plays with the notion of authorship. “O mundo foi dedetizado” contra a arte stands as a stark irony. 

Afonso Torres presents “Martelos”, a sculpture where tool handles gain painterly intensity. In “Objeto Futuro”, Roberto Magalhães explores childhood memories through a combination of acrylic and metal. Jeanete Musatti’s “Som e Movimento” is a sequence of photographs encapsulated in acrylic, creating a visual dialogue between time and form. 

Fábio Miguez reveals “Três Eclipses”, a sculpture combining wood and acrylic in overlapping chromatic planes. Shirley Paes Leme’s “Aberta para o Mundo”, a bronze sculpture, invites contemplation. Felipe Cohen, with his series “3 Modelos para o Poente”, distills the landscape into its most elemental structure. Paulo Pasta presents a digital print on paper, where lines and planes shift according to the chromatic rhythm. 

As independent contributions, Luiz Breseghello explores contrasts between the raw and the precise in stainless steel and corten sculptures such as “Triângulo”, “Cubinho”, “Ora Bolas”, “Totem 3010”, and “Composição 3 Cubinhos”. 

Michelle Rosset returns with “Cisão”, a work that transforms paper collages into exercises of fragmentation and reintegration. In “Triângulo Duplo” and “Triângulo Duplo Curvo”, sculptures in automotive-painted steel, she explores the pulsation of color through geometry. Renato Gosling offers a critical take on everyday objects through miniatures: “Mini-Americano”, “Mini-Americano Verde”, and “Mini-Americano Marrom” invite sensory experience and the rediscovery of the banal as art. 

Patricia Carparelli reappears with watercolors on paper— “Lírio Laranja” and “Sabiá-Laranjeira”—works that investigate the transparency and nuance of nature. Isabella Despujols presents “Mistura de Cores”, a composition blending embroidery and acrylic painting on canvas to create vibrant surfaces. Tais Dias Cabral presents “Cactus”, a high-fired glazed ceramic piece, along with “Matriz” and “Junção”, watercolors on paper. 

Milan

In its second edition, the project titled Mondi Connessi — Connected Worlds reflects on the interrelations between nature, technology, and creativity. In partnership with Galleria Fumagalli, the exhibition brings together some of the most relevant names in the Italian contemporary art scene. 

Luca Boffi presents hybrid and tactile surfaces where seeds, soil, bark, and dried flowers are integrated with materials such as resin and fabric. Works like “Pabbio nemico del manto erboso” and “Monochrome” challenge the boundaries between the natural and the constructed; “Vedi tra il mais un campo di coiza” and “Miglio bianco pasto di lucre per gli uccelli del campo” explore forgotten ecosystems; while “Letame lietto fertilizzare”, “A maggio rosso a settembre nero”, and “Memorie di casa, suolo di graniglia e gallina” articulate an archaeology of the everyday. In “Azzurro cielo truciolo per cavalli”, the poetics of color and texture suggest an imagined topography. 

Mattia Bosco sculpts stone, marble, granite, and similar materials as though extracting their memory, revealing the strength and delicacy of the sculptural gesture. Thorsten Brinkmann transforms the extraordinary through performative photography, installations, and objects that reinvent functionality with humor. In works such as “Morique” and “Bribel”, absurdity becomes a form of language. 

Anne & Patrick Poirier guide the viewer through a visual narrative with “Le journal d’Ulysse”, composed of acrylic, dried leaves, and flowers on paper, evoking myth as a sensory memory. Maria Elisabetta Novello employs ash, acrylic, and flowers in compositions like “Alberi” and “Paesaggi”, meditating on time and the cycle of transformation. 

Among the highlights, Brazilian artist Lara Matana presents original creations made from repurposed Ornare materials — wood veneers and metals. With pieces such as “Escultura Galho” and the “Prisma” series, the artist builds compositions that resonate with the brand’s core values, revealing a visual language rooted in design and expanded through art.
