Frictional Geography Josefina Ayllón, Terence Birch, Giuseppe De Mattia, Joachim Lenz, Davide Mancini Zanchi, Marta Mancini, Beatrice Meoni, Ivan Seal Following the exhibition Viaggi / Journeys, presented in London last July, and Another Look at Reintegra Fine Art, A+B, Alma Pearl, Matèria, and z2o Sara Zanin, the galleries come together for the third installment of their shared dialogue in Geography of Friction, which opens on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in Brescia at A+B Gallery. Venue: A+B Gallery, Corsetto Sant’Agata 22, 25121 Brescia Opening: Saturday, March 7, 2026, 6:00 pm Exhibition dates: March 7 – April 18, 2026 Visiting hours: Thursday to Saturday, 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm; other days by appointment. If traditional geography organizes, delimits, and assigns fixed positions, Geography of Friction proposes an unstable map, defined by points of resistance rather than coordinates. The exhibition invites viewers to traverse a territory where the artwork is, more than a destination, an interruption, a temporal dilation, a generative slowdown. The unexpected alters the very way of proceeding and, by reflection, of knowing the world through painting. The exhibition brings together surfaces and fragments made intense by the materiality of paint, the possible narratives, irony, and staging strategies capable of modifying the trajectory of ordinary vision. The resulting friction is to be understood as an active experience that reorganizes the geography of the visible and transforms observation into a form of proximity between body and memory. The works of the eight participating artists — Josefina Ayllón, Terence Birch, Giuseppe De Mattia, Joachim Lenz, Davide Mancini Zanchi, Marta Mancini, Beatrice Meoni, Ivan Seal — are conceived to shape non-linear narratives.

019 : Ivan Seal - MONDEE OOBE BOATHE presents five paintings, Eskayprewt 1-5 (2026), conceived specifically for the space. Working within and against the still life tradition, Seal constructs forms that hover at the edge of recognition. They are not depictions but propositions: objects that appear to have passed through time, shaped by distortion, erosion, and recall. The title of the exhibition and the paintings are generated through a nonsense algorithm, a method Seal has employed since 2007. Language here does not clarify; it unsettles. Meaning flickers, dissolves, reassembles. The same dynamic unfolds on the canvas. Dense impasto gathers and disperses across dark, indeterminate grounds. Forms surface, fragment, and re-materialize, suspended between abstraction and suggestion. The series began with the lamp above the Hermannplatz space, its glow recalling a full moon. From this image emerged the idea of a boat dissolving into the night, lit only by lunar light. Yet, as often in Seal’s work, the initial motif recedes. Across the five paintings, the boat becomes increasingly unstable, less anchored in representation. What remains is atmosphere. Over the course of a month, the paintings will appear in changing constellations. No fixed sequence, no set duration. A visitor may encounter Eskayprewt 1 and return to find Eskayprewt 3 in its place minutes after. The next day, another configuration. This subtle reordering extends the logic of the work into space: memory is tested against itself. Did the image change, or did recollection? Is what is seen familiar, or merely assembled from fragments? The trumpet melody produced by Seal for the exhibition loops throughout the month, accompanying the ships as they drift into the night. @ivanseal #ivanseal

BIG BIG thankyou to all who made it out to see the first work in the series and all those who pressed their ears against the glass to listen to the sound work @passage_art on ubahn Hermannplatz (direction Spandau) last night. You are all the best!!! @passage_art @victor_auberjonois @almapearlgallery @kirbyleylandj

👁️ A closer look: surfaces come alive with tension by @IvanSeal . In his new works shown in “Grottoesque”, the artist uses thick layers of paint that twist into improbable forms. The textures are psychological as much as physical, with residues of memory, excess, and transformation, allowing the works to shimmer between states to evoke both pleasure and discomfort though distortion. Through these warped details, Seal turns the canvas into a living surface that resists perfection. 🔗 Presented by @AlmaPearlGallery , see the show now on #VorticArt until October 25, 2025 via link in bio. #VRExhibition #IvanSeal #Grottoesque #AlmaPearl #Vortic #ContemporaryArt #Painting #Texture #ArtExhibition
