Von Buren Contemporary invites audiences to discover Children’s Corner, a festive Christmas show housed at Via Giulia 13 in the heart of Rome. The exhibition brings together three Italian artists—Fantini, Guido Morelli, and Saro Puma—whose works share a playful, childlike sensibility that hides depth and imagination. Opening Vernissage is November 29, 2025. The gallery highlights that Children’s Corner will remain on display until January 13, 2026.
The title, Children’s Corner, signals a commitment to simplicity of execution and vision that unites Fantini, Guido Morelli, and Saro Puma. Each artist’s practice blends poetic inspiration with a sense of refreshing innocence, inviting viewers to experience art through a lens of youthful wonder.
Saro Puma. Born in Sicily in 1963 and based in Turin, Puma has long engaged with painting workshops within the field of psychiatry and has exhibited widely across Italy and abroad. His canvases and drawings convey a childlike naivety, tempered by a poetic, whimsical mood. Puma’s work is known for moments of enigmatic solitude and a delicate, melancholic air that resonates with private collectors and public audiences alike.
Guido Morelli. Hailing from La Spezia (born 1967), Morelli studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara. His paintings are characterized by synthetic, vibrantly colored landscapes. Morelli foregrounds a mental depiction of space rather than a literal rendering of real places, exploring memory, imagination, and a psychological dimension of painting. His work emphasizes color, luminosity, and an evocative internal landscape.
The exhibition presents an intentional blend of lightness and depth, inviting viewers to explore how simplicity on the surface can reveal complex emotional and imaginative layers. The artists’ shared language—blending naïveté with thoughtful presence—offers a cohesive yet varied dialogue about perception and memory.
