At the same time, it is an environmental installation that merges painting, architecture and design . The exhibition itinerary is articulated through a series of structures designed by the artist that transform the museum environment into a space to be crossed, explored, inhabited. The exhibition thus triggers a dialogue between the artist's ephemeral architecture and the historical structure of the building - the former washhouse of Orani, now the beating heart of the Nivola Museum.
Inside these 'rooms' and on the walls of the museum are works created from the 1980s to today, which tell the story of the evolution of Du Pasquier's visual language: a lexicon made of figuration and abstraction, in which human figures and the narrative dimension gradually give way to the theme of still lifes , made of simple, everyday objects, which delicately evoke the human presence, and then again to geometric shapes and abstract constructions. The whole thing is bathed in a midday light that gives the paintings a metaphysical air, almost as if we were in front of modern versions of Morandi's canvases or, in other ways, of the purist ones of Le Corbusier and Ozenfant."
