Giovanni Ozzola: Traces of Wind

Mar 3 – Apr 24, 2022
Dashanzi Art District 798 #8503, 2 Jiuxianqiao Rd, Chaoyang, Beijing, China

The Italian artist Giovanni Ozzola has brought the Atlantic Ocean to bustling Beijing. Ozzola was born in 1982 in Florence, but now lives in the Canary Islands, where he spends his days pondering the intricacies of light. At Galleria Continua in Beijing, his photographs of the volcanic isles and the surrounding ocean pose as windows. Viewers are transported to a place where the Atlantic feels infinite and rests perpetually under hazy orange dusk and starry skies. —Elena Clavarino
