The Sunday Painter presents The flesh of space, a group exhibition spanning painting, installation, and photography that explores how architectural spaces become repositories of the psyche-shaping experience, imagination, and memory. Featuring works by Marco Bizzarri, John Divola, Varvara Uhlik and Zearo, the exhibition presents architecture stripped of human figures yet imbued with their trace-spaces suspended in temporal arrest where absence operates not as vacancy but as presence turned inward.

In these works, walls and furnishings cease to be inert structures. They become witnesses-membranes absorbing gestures, atmospheres, psychological sediment. Doors stand ajar, threshold and invitation collapsed into one. An abandoned room, its fleshy surfaces decayed and softened by time, returns our gaze. A motionless swing, a seesaw suspended mid-air. A bathtub drawn for a body departed or approaching, its surface undisturbed. The quiet tilt of furniture arranged by no visible hand. Each object waits-patient, dense with the gravitational pull of what has been and might return.

Across four distinct practices, The flesh of space argues that architecture is never neutral- it records, retains, and reflects the psychological weight of habitation.
