Five paintings installed across five different locations in Torino, forming a small path through the center of the city. Conceived as a series of abstract, non-narrative works presented outside traditional exhibition spaces, Lucy Otter's paintings, following her earlier "paintings for furniture", are unconventionally situated within a plaster cast gallery, a cheese shop, a bookstore, a concept store, and an antique dealer's shop. Rather than inhabiting the neutrality of a gallery's walls, the works blend into everyday spaces, engaging directly with the spatial and functional context that surrounds them.

Lucy Otter (b. 1937, Three Corners, Alaska) lives and works in Pepys, Cornwall. Prior to pursuing an artistic career, Otter studied at the Royal Horticultural Society in London and dedicated herself to the practice of landscape gardening. In parallel to this activity, from 1958 to 1964 she was part of the group MAP. She was guest professor at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1979 to 1983. Her work was first exhibited at the Paris Petit Salon des Artistes in 1959. Recent exhibitions include those with Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London (2024);  House of Seiko, San Francisco (2024); kurimanzutto, Mexico City at Zona Maco (2024) and Galleria Franco Noero, Turin at Art Basel Hong Kong (2020).

Lucy Otter is a character from “Siete Cavernas”, the as yet unpublished novel by Gabriel Sierra.
