This weekend, a wellness centre in the heart of Milan will transform into a pop-up art gallery, Atelier Corte Regina, to host the first solo show of upcoming artist Marta Grossi. Hell’s Kitchen Blurry Ghost is the fruit of Grossi’s recent travels to New York and a creative interpretation of how the pulsating metropolis impacted her imagination.

Old photographs are transformed into canvasses where silk, hand-drawn illustrations and splashes of pastel hues merge into one. The works speak of Grossi’s unique talent for blurring the lines between classic art and graphic design, the old and the contemporary, revealing a distinct and delightfully effervescent personality.

From 17 January 2009 at Atelier Corte Regina, Viale Monza 16, Milan 20127.
