Dani Marti in 2025

VERMELL FURIÓS
18.10. - 12.11.2025

Dani Marti’s new series of wall-based sculptures transform industrial and domestic materials – rope, hose, rubber – into visceral fields of pressure and release. Through meticulous acts of braiding, knotting, and layering, each work reveals materiality as a conduit for the restless pulse of contemporary existence. At the corse of the series is a preoccupation with tensions: between order and disorder, strength and vulnerability, restraint and eruption.

Marti’s practice is unapologetically tactile, grounded in the physical labour of making. Each work deeply bears the imprint of process, drawing the viewer into an intimate encounter with the imagined sensation of surface: the roughness of rope, the smooth polish of aluminium, the frayed tail-ends of threads. For the artist, material is never simply relegated to its decorative purpose; it becomes a structural metaphor for the human experience and its fragile, yet resilient, condition. While each piece negotiates the polarities of control and surrender in its own way, the series is unified through a shared chromatic anchor: red – carmine, crimson, scarlet, pink. This colour is never neutral; it trembles with a rich spectrum of emotion, from the thrum of desire to the furious pumping of blood and anger.
