Virginie Ittah, Oceanic Feeling / Anna-Eva Bergman, Engraved works

Galerie Poggi is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Virginie Ittah, curated by Vittoria Matarrese. A member of the artist duo Ittah Yoda from 2016 to 2024, Virginie Ittah now develops an artistic practice in her own name, in which figures, narratives, and materials move closer to the body, intimacy, and lived experience.

Titled “Oceanic Feeling”, the exhibition offers an immersive and sensory experience through a new body of paintings and sculptures, in dialogue with two original sound works by pianist and composer Koki Nakano, as well as an olfactory work co-created with perfumer Yann Vasnier especially for the occasion.

A group of woodcuts, etchings, and lithographs by Anna-Eva Bergman, produced around the 1960s and 1970s, is presented in parallel.

Plus

For Bergman, printmaking represents a field of research in its own right, deeply connected to the development of her painting.

At the same time, the gallery is presenting a selection of painted masterpieces dating from the turn of the 1970s, in which the theme of the horizon proliferates and becomes one of her major motifs.
