Luigi Ontani’s Prim', Mascherone, Fontana (1994) is a fantastical ceramic sculpture that blurs the boundaries between myth, self-portraiture, and symbolism. This ornate mask, adorned with an abundance of stylised eyes and crowned with botanical flourishes, evokes the divine and the surreal—recalling both classical iconography and carnival masquerade. Ontani, known for his highly theatrical and allegorical works, often inserts his own likeness into such mythic guises. This piece is quintessentially Ontani, embodying his signature fusion of art history, self-mythology, and decorative exuberance, while also inviting reflection on identity, multiplicity, and the gaze.

Imon Boy’s Nobody Cares (2023) is a sculpture that distils the artist’s signature blend of humour and melancholy into a three-dimensional form. Crafted in smooth, matte-finished materials, the rounded head with oversized ears, purple hair, and a solitary expression rests atop a wooden box adorned with childlike doodles and the titular phrase. The juxtaposition of playful visuals with the deadpan message evokes a sense of resigned irony. This work aligns with Imon Boy’s wider practice, where street art aesthetics and comic motifs explore themes of loneliness, digital detachment, and emotional authenticity with disarming sincerity.
