Tales from the Garden: Mamali Shafahi & Domenico Gutknecht

Baró Galeria is pleased to announce Tales from the Garden, by the artist duo Mamali Shafahi and Domenico Gutknecht, presented at Baró Mallorca on the occasion of the 20th edition of Art Palma Brunch 2026. Opening on March 21, 2026, the exhibition is part of the official program organized by Art Palma Contemporani, marking the beginning of the spring art season in Mallorca.

Continuing the duo’s ongoing Eternal Rest cycle, Tales from the Garden presents the garden as a transitional and symbolic space, inhabited by hybrid figures, animals, and objects that exist between memory, transformation, and imagined worlds. Working across painting, sculpture, and immersive installation, Shafahi and Gutknecht create a shared environment in which individual works appear as fragments of a larger imagined landscape.

The exhibition brings together references ranging from Persian paradise gardens and miniature painting to medieval European folklore, fairy tales, and religious iconography, forming a hybrid visual language shaped by materiality, tactility, and narrative ambiguity. Tales from the Garden is closely connected to the duo’s upcoming solo presentation at Art Dubai 2026, extending the same conceptual universe across different geographies.
