Path to Paradise
Pneuma Art Foundation x Galleria Frilli
Reimagining Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise
An Exhibition by Pneuma Art Foundation in partnership with Galleria Frilli that links the past with the present.
Submit your proposals from Dec 13, 2024 - Jan 13, 2025.
Lorenzo Ghiberti's Baptistry Doors are a cornerstone of Renaissance art, celebrated for their intricate relief sculptures that depict profound narratives from the Old Testament. These ten panels have inspired generations with their artistry and storytelling. Galleria Frilli is partnering with Pneuma to provide their exquisite replica of Ghiberti's Baptistry Doors for up close admiration and artistic interpretation. Read more about Galleria Frilli’s process to create the replicas of the Baptistry doors here.
In “Path to Paradise”, we bridge the gap between past and present. For each of the 10 Ghiberti panels, we will select 2 artists to recreate their own interpretation of the story or theme, secular or religious. This will result in 20 talented Pneuma artist members exhibiting original works that reflect contemporary themes and perspectives alongside the replica of the original panels. Through a variety of mediums—including painting, sculpture, and more— artists will offer fresh interpretations of timeless stories.
UPCOMING EXHIBIT
Inspiring the next generation of artists and innovators.
PNEUMA (πνεῦμα) is ancient Greek for "breath", "spirit" and "soul".
We take inspiration from antiquity and will breathe Pneuma into a new Renaissance. The Renaissance was a hallmark of new thinking that manifested in art, architecture, politics, science and literature. Now, we aim to bring that beauty back to life with the spirit of young masters through workshops, exhibitions, and education in an inclusive and contemporary fashion.
