Two artists Elvio Chiricozzi and Roberto Pietrosanti came together to make a pretty show in this smart, New York style gallery. The space, as they say in the business, is great, with a quasi-industrial ribbed ceiling and long clean walls. The gallery seems focussed on the minimal, and even the stools are 60's white plastic. The work was clean, professional, minimal, rubbish. A couple of bald plaster figures were hanging round, one creating an existential silhouette on a beautiful piece of linen , and the other slotted into a shaped canvas like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle. The linen smelt nice, but I wonder what this mixture of figuration and material meant. Surely it was not a cliched representation of humanity's alienation and essential loneliness? I don't care because the sum total of my actual experience of the work was an admiration of the linen and an absolute visual boredom. I cannot think if there is nothing to see.
