Through the Ontological Window

Artworks by Alex Malfero

Overview

This exhibition showcases Alex Malfero’s lifelong exploration of folklore, family dynamics, and the interplay of memory and fantasy. Through vibrant synthetic hues on found textiles, Malfero challenges romanticized notions of domestic life.

Through the Ontological Window is a coming-of-age exhibition that invites you to peer into the artist’s childhood home and witness intimate moments that blur the boundaries between past and present, reality and imagination. Each frame, taken from the artist’s own family home, offers a unique yet relatable perspective on generational knowledge, gender fluidity, and the enduring power of family tales.

Join us in celebrating Alex Malfero’s artistry, nurturing introspection on identity, memory, and the resonance of family stories. Discover how softly applied colors, blurred edges, and recalled memories transform these windows into portals to a world where the past, present, and future coalesce.
