Milan Gallery to Host Joint Exhibition of Emerging Artists
A new art exhibition opening , at Tempesta Gallery in Milan will showcase the work of two rising talents in the contemporary art world: Paulina Emilia Aumayr and Lorenzo Conforti. The exhibition aims to create a dialogue between their distinct artistic approaches, which, despite differing in form and concept, both demonstrate a profound engagement with the psychological, bodily, and structural dimensions of contemporary experience.
Paulina Emilia Aumayr, born in in Vienna and currently living and working there, operates at the intersection of painting and text. A student at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna since , studying under Daniel Richter, her practice delves into the complex relationship between intimacy and violence. Aumayr’s work makes visible the subtle and systemic structures of patriarchal power, translating feminist resistance into images charged with tension, vulnerability, and confrontation through her use of color, gesture, and language.
Aumayr’s work has been featured in a number of galleries, including Galerie Kandlhofer, Galerie Krinzinger, VinVin Galerie, Galerie Michael Bella, Weserhalle Berlin, and at the Parallel Art Fair, establishing her as a quickly emerging voice in the art scene.
Alongside Aumayr, the exhibition will feature the paintings of Lorenzo Conforti, born in in Tolentino and now working between Milan and his hometown. Conforti’s practice is rooted in the fusion of images drawn from diverse organic anatomies. His artistic journey began with music and graffiti writing, leading him to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino, where he co-founded the collective Hardchitepture – a group focused on environmental and scenographic installation – from to . He later completed his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan.
Conforti’s paintings operate at the threshold of abstraction, generating hybrid and layered forms that resist the contemporary urge to define or assign meaning. His work functions as unstable inner landscapes—spaces of psychological transaction where fragmentation, overload, and uncertainty coexist. He views painting as a means of sustaining the instability of beauty, opening visions where matter is in constant transformation and timeless bodies float in germinal panoramas.
The exhibition, according to promotional material, is designed to build a dialogue between two approaches that conceive of painting as both a critical and sensitive field. One approach focuses on indeterminacy and perceptual complexity, while the other explores painting as a space for political and emotional resistance. The exhibition’s organizers state that the work on display does not offer definitive answers, but rather opens up unstable territories for contemplation, observation, and questioning.
The opening reception is scheduled for , at Tempesta Gallery, located at Foro Buonaparte, 68, Milan. The gallery can be reached by phone at +334 9909824.
