Aurora Passero works at the crossroads between textile art, sculpture and painting, producing artworks that dialogue directly with the room in which they are exhibited. Her monumental works demonstrate a solid theoretical and tacit knowledge of crafting processes and materials.

The exhibition, titled "Solid Blossom," comprises a series of new monumental textile works created using woven and dyed nylon, wool, and plaster. Drawing inspiration from a range of cultural forms, including popular and underground culture, craftsmanship, ethnology, and art history, Passero constructs spatial compositions within an abstract visual language.

The space is maximally utilized through the dimensions of the works, and the textiles are scaled and adapted to the two different ceiling heights. Sculptural considerations such as size, form, negative space, distance, and rhythm become relevant within these textile pieces. Some works feature few weft threads and are perceived as delicate and dissolvable, while others are tightly woven with a heavier and more "fleshy" character. By combining rectangular painterly panels mounted on or close to the walls with more sculptural and freely formed works, Passero establishes distinct dynamic installations at the intersection of textiles, painting, and sculpture.

Passero explores elements of transformation, dynamics, and change in her artwork, establishing a relationship with the viewer's sensory experience. Her works embody a finely tuned presence that balances nature and culture, chance and structure, creating a tension between solidity and fragility. The "Solid" pieces represent the concrete and tangible, while the "Blossom" pieces convey growth and transformation.

Aurora Passero (b. 1984) resides and works in Oslo. She pursued her studies at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KhiO), specializing in textiles, where she earned her master's degree in 2011. She has also studied at the Glasgow School of Art, Department of Sculpture and Environmental Art.
She has, among other things, exhibited solo shows such as "Crystal Set" at Galleri Haaken, "Silvery Actions" at Vigeland Museum, "Affections" at Kunstnernes Hus Foaje, "Liquid Territory" at Kraft in Bergen, "Ivory Tactics" at Kunstnerforbundet, and "Warrior Gloss" at Galleri Soft. She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, including at Kunsthall Stavanger, Kunstnerforbundet, Stavanger Art Museum, Astrup Fearnley Museum, Lillehammer Art Museum, Vigeland Museum, Malmö Konsthall, and Haugar Vestfold Art Museum. Additionally, she has completed several public art projects, including ones for Jotun HQ in Sandefjord (2022), Danderyd Hospital in Stockholm (2020), the Norwegian Parliament in Oslo (2019), and the Norwegian Embassy in Rome (2012).

Aurora Passero has received support for the exhibition from the Arts Council Norway and Billedkunstnernes Vederlagsfond.
