Euromobil Group, with its companies Euromobil, Zalf and Desiree, is main sponsor of the exhibition Pablo Atchugarry. Sculpting Light, curated by Gabriele Simongini, scheduled from May 19 to June 21, 2026 at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome.
Ten years after his last exhibition in Rome at the Trajan Markets and five years after the show at the Royal Palace in Milan, the Uruguayan artist – adopted Italian – returns to the capital with an exhibition project that brings together approximately fifty works, offering a broad and articulated reading of the last fifteen years of his research. A master of the sculptural technique per forza di levare, according to Michelangelo's famous definition, Atchugarry works directly with marble, particularly Carrara statuary marble, developing a practice that is rooted in the Western classical tradition but opens to a profoundly spiritual vision of form. For the artist, sculpture is a necessary act, a research that traverses balance and tension, memory and contemporaneity.
The works are distinguished by metamorphic and vertical forms that evoke natural and architectural elements – trees, columns, flames, bodies – guiding the gaze upward and suggesting a contemplative and regenerating experience. The marble, crossed by incisions and fissures, loses its original compactness and opens to light. Alongside the celebrated marbles, the exhibition presents works created in wood, alabaster, enameled bronze and steel, materials through which Atchugarry explores different expressive possibilities, from the organic intimacy of forms sculpted in tree trunks to the dynamic tension of large environmental sculptures. The exhibition path is further enriched by four works inserted within the permanent collection, in dialogue with twentieth-century masters such as Jean Arp, Lucio Fontana, Alberto Giacometti and Henry Moore, in a comparison that crosses epochs and languages, reaffirming the continuity of artistic research. On the occasion of the exhibition, the artist will donate to the National Gallery the work Energy, created in white marble and conceived specifically to enter the museum's collection.
