PSYCHOLOGY AND NATURE: CLAUDIO GALLINA EXHIBITS IN SANTO DOMINGO

Lucy García Gallery, located in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, presents the exhibition by artist Claudio Gallina (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1964) Habitar la incertidumbre. The work addresses current themes such as the human condition and psychology in a contemporary world where the individual is the primary instrument. Topics such as transformation, the ephemeral nature of time, social bonds, and the relationship with one's surroundings are the central focus of this show.

With an aesthetic that blends the possible with the utopian, his work unfolds a visual narrative in which the body functions as a metaphor for emotional states, social tensions, and ways of inhabiting the world. Childhood, habitat, play, silence, and geometry intertwine in scenes that seek to evoke zones of ambiguity, reflection, and presence. The hidden and the latent take center stage in compositions that invite the viewer to question their own way of seeing, remembering, and being.

The artist invites us to question what it means to construct both the self and the habitat, and to remain in an interior and exterior space that overlap. This exhibition is a call to inhabit uncertainty as a threshold toward a renewed understanding of the self. It is in the fragility of these constructions and in the stillness of these landscapes that the possibility of finding meaning reveals itself — not in spite of the void, but precisely within it — forging one's own dwelling both inward and outward.

"I move beyond childhood toward what I am trying to represent: the inner search, the psychology of the figure, the playful, the psychological dimension of play — which is not so much about play itself. The relationship between human beings and nature, but the true relationship: that of feeling part of nature and trying, from that place, to connect and to heal," Gallina explained and shared with the gallery.

Habitar la incertidumbre is on view at Lucy García Gallery, Av. Roberto Pastoriza #412, Torre Altri-Tempi, 4th floor, Piantini, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
