Marta Naturale on view in New York in a group exhibition at Andrew Kreps Gallery

Marta Naturale (born 1990, Venice) arrives on the New York scene with her participation in the group exhibition “Measures of Intimacy” — organized by Alice Conconi — on view through April 18 at Andrew Kreps Gallery. The exhibition brings together a cross-section of international artists — Uri Aran, Fran Chang, Nino Kapanadze, Kristy Luck, Thérèse Oulton, and Emma Rose Schwartz — whose practices explore the shifting boundaries of intimacy, the body, and perception through different languages, from sculpture to photography, from painting to installation.

The exhibition offers an ideal showcase for Naturale’s contemplative and refined work, in which interiors, thresholds, and domestic spaces become sites of temporal suspension and poetic reflection.

Marta Naturale’s works — small paintings on panel and slate, marked by silent and contemplative atmospheres, devoid of human figures yet dense with traces and hints of presence — embody her investigation into perception, memory, and the intimacy of space. The Italian artist, already the subject of solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries across Italy and Europe, brings to the American metropolis a visual language that combines inner landscape and everyday reality, transforming familiar objects and environments into instruments of introspection and contemplation.

The group exhibition at Andrew Kreps Gallery is a positive sign and confirms the interest of international institutions and galleries in the contemporary Italian scene, highlighting artists who, like Marta Naturale, are able to engage with a global sensibility while maintaining cultural and poetic roots that are deeply Italian. In Italy, the artist works with Zero… (Milan).
