gallery rosenfeld is thrilled to announce the solo exhibition Venti Trasversali by Araminta Blue taking place at Palazzo della Penna in Perugia, Italy.
From 13th of June to 26th of July, the museum hosts Araminta Blue’s paintings that enter into dialogue with the nineteenth century fresco cycles of Antonio Castelletti and the architectural stratifications of the Museum itself. The result is an environment where time does not progress in linear form but circulates, returns, and accumulates.
The exhibition unfolds across three movements: Light, Night, Wind.
Within this setting, motherhood, the body, and destiny emerge not as fixed themes but as shifting conditions. The body appears as threshold and container, a site of transformation where external forces and internal states continuously intersect. Care, vulnerability, and desire become visible as structures of experience rather than private emotions.
Part of the research behind this exhibition comes from The Place Of Silence artist residency, where long immersion in the Umbrian landscape and its quiet rhythms shifted the artist’s perception toward slower, unseen forces.
A site specific intervention extends the exhibition into the tower of the museum, where four paintings have been conceived specifically in relation to the vertical architecture and atmospheric conditions of the space.















Araminta Blue is interested in how the imagined space can be used as an escape and protection from our ‘reality’, whilst at the same time it can help us view the real experience with an added clarity. The oil paint is either diluted to act like watercolour, applied in washes, scrubbed with rags or thickened to a clay or cement-like consistency that is slicked and scratched. The canvas is treated like a drawing on paper: the process of making the work is open to the viewer in the translucent layers and visibly scrubbed out marks.
