Meyecelium is an exhibition of over a hundred new paintings by Sandro Kopp at the Palazzo Grimani Museum in Venice, running from mid-May to early September 2019.

Each painting is a portrait of a single eye of one of the artists friends and family, painted from life over the course of the past two-and-half years. Each eye is surrounded with precious metal leaf - gold, silver, platinum - further ennobling the paintings and underlining the affection and admiration of the artist for his subjects. The works are presented in an installation designed in collaboration with and produced by Alfonso Architects, Florida.

The title of the exhibition alludes to the organically grown network of relationships and friendships that exists around every individual.

The opening will be held simultaneously with the opening of VENETIAN HERITAGE’s opening of DOMUS GRIMANI 1594-2019, The Collection of Classical Sculptures reassembled in its Original Setting after Four Centuries, on the opposite side of the museum; and GAGOSIAN’s opening of PITTURA/PANORAMA: Paintings by Helen Frankenthaler, 1952-1992, a monographic show dedicated to the late American artist, on the second floor.
