Galleria Doris Ghetta is pleased to announce DRY RUN, the first solo show by Italo-Austrian artist Martina Steckholzer (Italy, 1974), at Pontives 8, Ortisei (Italy). Encompassing works from her most recent experimentation, the show premieres nine previously unseen sets of paintings on canvas and paper that she has produced in the last few months.

Throughout her career, Steckholzer has addressed themes such as the space of representation, the visual symbols of cultural and historical context, and the role of painting as an epistemological tool. Inspired by her encounters with artworks by fellow artists and visits to art spaces such as museums, galleries, and institutions, Steckholzer processes her emotions by re-enacting the episodes experienced and questioning them through her paintings.
