COMING UP
20 MAY – 12 SEP
BABS Art Gallery is pleased to invite you to the opening of the exhibition dedicated to the jewelry, artworks, and sculptures of artist Sophia Vari, which will be held on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, starting at 6:00 PM at our gallery in Via Maurizio Gonzaga 2, Milan.
For the first time in Milan, a unique exhibition brings together artworks and jewelry in a tribute to Sophia Vari, one of the most refined artists on the international scene. The exhibition, on view until September 12, 2025, traces the evolution of her artistic language through wearable sculptures crafted from noble materials such as gold, silver, marble, and fine woods; intense and vibrant watercolors revealing a deep pictorial sensitivity; and patinated bronze sculptures in which strength and harmony merge in a striking balance.

We are pleased to announce our collaboration with La Crescentina – Laboratory for Art, which will inaugurate the new exhibition season with the show:
ART TO LIVE / NATURE TO WEAR – Stories of Artworks and Artist’s Jewels
curated by Marzia Capannolo and Paola Stroppiana.
La Crescentina, Strada Crescentina 2, Fubine Monferrato (AL), Italy.
This evocative journey weaves together art and nature, sculpture and ornament, vision and material. On display are the works of eleven historical and contemporary artists who have extended their artistic exploration into the realm of wearable art: unique pieces to wear, capable of telling stories, evoking emotions, and delving into profound themes through original materials, forms, and techniques.
Through painting, installation, sculpture, and design, the exhibition celebrates the beauty of Nature as a source of inspiration and the “genius loci” of a living space in dialogue with the artworks.

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”.
