11 MARCH – 15 MAY

We are pleased to announce that from March 11 to May 15, 2025, BABS Art Gallery will host the solo exhibition of LETIA – Letizia Cariello, PORTABLE SCULPTURES, an exhibition that merges art, history, and symbolism.
The artist will present a limited-edition series where time and space take shape through both wearable and non-wearable sculptures. Crowns, necklaces, chokers, and rings in porcelain and gold, engraved with calendars and intertwined with threads, interact with the body. They are accompanied by steel fans, marble stones, and velvet cushions in a single installation that goes beyond traditional exhibition formats.
The exhibition is accompanied by a critical essay by Francesca Molteni, who describes the works as a labyrinth of nature and geometry—an architecture that becomes body, icon, and sculpture.
Among the standout pieces are the Meridiana ring, the Teodora necklace, the Equatore choker, as well as a tiara and a chainmail handbag, inspired by medieval and Byzantine sacredness.

13 SEPTEMBER – 4 OCTOBER

SEI ANNI COME EDITORE DI GIOIELLI D’ARTISTA
In an exclusive location we have chosen specifically for the exhibition, located at Via Carducci 25, BABS Art Gallery will offer the public a journey through the artworks and jewelry created by contemporary artists whom the gallery has followed and supported during its first six years of activity.
7 NOVEMBER – 20 DECEMBER

BABS Art Gallery in collaboration with Brun Fine Art and Unlock decoding art is delighted to present the exhibition “VANITAS”. The project aims to destabilize the traditional perception of Vanitas, demonstrating how art and beauty can find new forms of immortality in a contemporary interpretation. In this exhibition, the concept of Vanitas is reinterpreted through the juxtaposition of sculptural works, representing the ideal of immortal beauty, with artist’s jewellery, a modern and individual manifestation of our time. A dialogue that offers the public a unique experience, inviting them to reflect on the mutability of aesthetic canons and personal identity.
FOCUS ON
LORIS CECCHINI

BABS Art Gallery is thrilled to announce its collaboration with Italian artist Loris Cecchini in his first ever collection of jewelry.
Loris Cecchini (1969) lives and works in Milan. One of the most prominent Italian artist on the international stage, he has exhibited his works with solo shows in some of the world’s most prestigious museums and renowned art galleries.
The collection of jewelry, created specifically for the exhibition “Body Sculpture” at BABS Art Gallery, fits into the artist’s research on spatiality, proportion and modulation on a scale, as a result of generative transformations of thought. As Cecchini himself explains: “I have developed my artistic vocabulary around the concepts of object, model and architecture. Often my work refers in different ways to the idea of inhabiting the space. Today, I delve into the realm of sculpture and environmental installation, guided by the concept of material parcelization—almost akin to a molecular explosion of sculpture—where scientific phenomenology assumes an intimate structure and serves as a conduit for vision”.
