Sarah Jérôme – A single skin

Mostra personale.

Comunicato stampa

Prometeo Gallery presents, starting from 24 settembre 2025, the solo show by Sarah Jérôme, entitled A single skin, curated by Rischa Paterlini and Michele Spinelli.

The title evokes immediacy and vulnerability: the exhibition unfolds like a single skin that envelops and delicately holds together. Across the gallery’s two floors, Jérôme’s works construct a cohesive and ten- se journey, where nature and the human body intertwine to create fluid, visionary landscapes.
Sarah Jérôme returns to Italy with a solo exhibition after several years; in his critical text Spinelli states: «A single skin stems from a desire to reveal the transformation of Sarah’s practice, which has remained faithful to its original matrix while profoundly renewing itself. Tracing paper, the constant surface of her research, continues to be the site of experimentation, welcoming figures that are no longer isolated but instead enveloped by both interior and exterior landscapes». Jérôme’s pictorial gesture and sculptural practice are rooted in her body, which becomes a choreographic and ritual instrument. In the paintings, the colors - of vibrant Impressionist inspiration - seduce and unsettle, holding the viewer in suspension between attraction and the awareness of loss: every represented body is at once pre- sence and memory.
On the lower floor, the energy condenses and transforms the journey, opening to an intimate and enveloping dimension where the body does not impose itself but embraces. In A single skin there is no dichotomy between surface and depth, between visible and hidden: flesh, desire, and landscape merge into a singular vision, where the skin - vulnerable, alive, exposed - becomes both a surface of contact and an archive of time.

The exhibition is accompanied by an interview conducted by Rischa Paterlini and a critical text by Michele Spinelli, offering the public a direct dialogue with the artist and her practice.
