A Contemporary Mythology, Written in Fire

Bushwick Gallery announces Marked by Fire, Etched in Time, a solo exhibition by Italian artist Carlo Giuseppe Proietto, whose work transforms the ancient art of pyrography into a modern meditation on memory, emotion, and the human condition.

Each composition begins with the elemental act of burning—flame meeting wood in a quiet

dialogue between destruction and creation. Through this process, Proietto materializes memory itself, etching human presence into permanence. His works balance geometric precision with emotional resonance, bridging the raw and the refined.

“Proietto’s work reminds us that fire can be both an instrument of loss and a vessel of light,” says Bushwick Gallery. “In his hands, what might vanish becomes indelible—stories are not merely told; they are burned into existence.”

The exhibition explores the tension between fragility and endurance, asking how every mark—like every lived moment—leaves a lasting trace upon the world.
