First Studio Nucleo exhibition in Hong Kong, displaying the Primitive series. The Primitive series recalls archetypal primitive forms, quoting Brancusi and his exploration of pure form through sculpture.
These works reduce the forms to the essential, and the use of a contemporary material, like resin, gives shape to objects that are ancient and modern, tangible and metaphysical at one, testaments of an aesthetic quest grounded in functionality.
Studio Nucleo’s creations range from furniture to art objects, all characterized by an innovative use of materials and techniques. Their research activities stands out thanks to the ability to evoke the past while remaining deeply rooted in the present, critically engaging with Art history.
Katia Baudin, in her essay Art is useless, design is useful, highlights how Design can find a balance between aesthetics and functionality. Studio Nucleo embodies this duality, using form as a tool for aesthetic investigation that is intrinsically linked to functionality. Their work demonstrates how Beauty is closely connected to function and meaning.
