"The show brings together a selection of works, most of them large-scale, in which Cugusi unfolds his distinctive visual universe: reinvented landscapes, reconfigured classical symbolism, and scenes that expand the boundary between the real and the imagined. In Imminence, each work functions as a visual poem that invites viewers to abandon strict logic and step into a territory where emotion and intuition build worlds that evoke possible -and potentially imminent- futures."
"Nature occupies a central role in these pieces, always transformed and in dialogue with artificial elements. In his landscapes, lush fields intersect with brilliant blue seas, organic forms coexist with enigmatic symbols, and a recurring red spiral, inspired by Nuragic iconography from Sardinia, becomes a motif of life, cycles and permanence. "I think a work should be complex enough to offer new secrets," Cugusi explains. His practice emerges from a process of long layering, additions, removals and continuous re-readings."
Imminence is on view at Bowman Hal's SOLO CSV space, Cuesta de San Vicente 36, Madrid, through 31 January. The exhibition assembles mostly large-scale paintings that combine reinvented landscapes, reconfigured classical symbolism, diverse perspectives, and gestural color to blur real and imagined realms. Traditional genres—landscape, still life, portraiture—are transformed into hybrid settings where geometries, tubular structures, everyday objects, and exuberant vegetation coexist. Compositions recall Renaissance echoes, metaphysical Surrealism, and cinematic references. Nature is central yet altered, intersecting with artificial elements; recurring motifs include lush fields, brilliant blue seas, enigmatic symbols, and a red spiral drawn from Sardinian Nuragic iconography. The painting process relies on long layering, additions, and removals to create immersive formats that invite viewers into uninhabited, poetic pathways.
