Ninetto hosts The Last Seahorse Neighing in an Egg, a summer exhibition of individual and collaborative works by Faye Wei Wei and Erin Wolf Mommsen created during a July 2025 residency. A limited, signed edition of 100 copies gathers their collaborative poems and drawings. Faye Wei Wei studies at Yale after graduating from the Slade in 2016 and conceives painting as an intimate choreography between actual and pictorial space, invoking spiritual iconography, classical myth, love rituals and theatrical gender. Erin Mommsen is a self-taught New York painter whose oils and drawings evoke transience, dreamlike time, melancholic nostalgia, and painting as meditation on being.
Faye Wei Wei is currently attending the MA in Fine Arts of Yale (USA) after she graduated from the Slade (London, UK) in 2016. Faye Wei Wei conceives of the painting process as an intimate choreography between actual and pictorial space. Revolving around spiritual iconography and classical myth, love rituals and the theatricality of gender, her works address the themes of particular mythic narratives and at other moments depart into a more ambiguous, interior space of incongruity and uncertainty.
Erin Mommsen treads the world with an uncanny ease. A self-taught painter and draftsman based in New York, his work emerges from a deeply felt connection to transience-of places, of moods, of memory. His oil paintings and drawings evoke a dreamlike state where time stretches and contracts, where forms hover at the edge of recognition. They carry a lingering, fleeting sense of melancholy and nostalgia-like moments that feel uncannily familiar, as if drawn from memories we never had.
