M77 is pleased to announce Marco Petrus: in-motion, the artist’s new solo exhibition. Featuring around seventy previously unseen works, the show draws inspiration from the generative motion—both architectural and human—depicted in Bambina che corre sul balcone by Giacomo Balla (1912, Galleria d’Arte Moderna, Milan). From May 29 to September 12, the exhibition, curated by Sharon Hecker, takes its cue from the celebrated Futurist painting to develop a series of reflections that, through progressive variations, lead the composition toward an increasingly abstract synthesis of sequences of colorful, rhythmic, and sinuous lines. Already known for reworking the urban landscape through geometric and synthetic forms, focusing on architecture and the formal essence of the metropolitan fabric, Petrus uses these works to explore how images are perceived today, in a condition suspended between physical space and digital logic. His painterly language thus opens up to a dimension that evokes the fragmentation and fluidity of contemporary vision. In the exhibition, architecture, painting, and digital vision converge into a single evolving language that Petrus employs to engage both with art history and with contemporary digital logic. In-motion offers a reflection on how images circulate today—through media and cultural stratifications—continuously generating new possibilities and redefining the relationship between observer, space, and movement. “The exhibition presents a body of previously unseen projects created over the past decade, brought together here in a retrospective path that restores the conceptual unity of my practice. The various themes explored can be traced back to an idea of visual perception represented through ‘sequence shots’: movement, geometric compositions, volumes, infinite palettes, color, fantastic structures, illusion.” — Marco Petrus The opening will take place on Thursday, May 28, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.
