This year, Lupo Lorenzelli presents a group exhibition at Untitled Miami that celebrates the power of proximity, dialogue, and friendship in the making of contemporary painting. The project brings together four artists: Julian Lombardi, Cayetano Sanz de Santamaría, Gus Monday, and Shane Keisuke Berkery who, over the past year, have shared the same studio in London. What began as a practical arrangement evolved into an ecosystem of exchange, influence, and mutual growth. Their studio became not only a site of production but a space of conversation, critique, and everyday companionship, almost a family.

Although each artist speaks from a distinct visual and cultural background, with Julian from Philadelphia, Cayetano from Bogotá, Shane from Tokyo and Dublin, and Gus from London by way of South Africa, their practices have begun to resonate across shared questions of perception, form, and the psychological dimension of image making. The booth at Untitled Miami will echo this environment, part exhibition and part reimagined studio, evoking the layered intimacy of a space where thought and gesture intertwine.

Julian Lombardi

Julian Lombardi (b. 1996, Philadelphia, USA) explores biomorphic abstraction as a vehicle for emotional and psychosocial awareness. His painterly forms emerge from the sub and unconscious, evolving into protean landscapes that move between the organic and the surreal. Drawing deeply from the history of painting, Lombardi situates abstraction firmly in the present, offering a sensuous language through which to reflect on the instability and complexity of contemporary life.

Shane Keisuke Berkery

Shane Keisuke Berkery (b. 1992, Tokyo) approaches figurative painting as an act of meditation, a process of bridging the inner world and external perception. His practice reflects on how thought and image surface from the unconscious, capturing the fragile moment where abstraction coalesces into representation. Merging personal memory with art historical reference, Berkery’s works embody the act of becoming, the constant negotiation between chaos and form, between being and seeing.

Gus Monday

Gus Monday (b. 2000, London) turns his attention to the architecture of collective experience. His meticulous oil and ink renderings of civic and bureaucratic interiors transform public spaces into psychological terrains. These depopulated environments, including staircases, corridors, and furniture arrangements, suggest how design and spatial order shape our behavior, memory, and sense of belonging. Monday’s oscillation between precision and dissolution mirrors the ways in which memory edits reality, revealing both the utopian promises and the latent tensions of modern space.

Cayetano Sanz de Santamaría

Cayetano Sanz de Santamaría (b. 1997, Bogotá, Colombia) works primarily in painting and drawing, weaving together mythology, folklore, and psychological inquiry. His vivid figurative compositions unfold as allegorical worlds rich in humor, symbolism, and hidden narrative. Each work becomes an entry point into the subconscious, where the personal and the mythical blur, inviting viewers to explore how stories shape the way we see and feel.

Together, these four artists embody painting as a living conversation, a shared pursuit of understanding the world and the self through form, color, and companionship. Their studio is not just a place where art is made, but a place where art and life happen.
