A multidisciplinary artist whose unique style has stood out in both international and national contemporary art scenes for his ability to blend, using different expressive languages, pop culture and high art, underground exuberance and rigor, queer imagery and symbolism, Austin Young returns to the capital after the success of Temple of Flowers at the Chiostro del Bramante, with a new site-specific project.

Conceived specifically for the gallery space, the installation transforms the environment into a lush, immersive garden in which floral and human elements intertwine, activating the senses and inviting viewers into a heightened perceptual experience.

The exhibition explores the beauty of nature, with flowers as universal and polysemic symbols—they evoke resistance, spirituality, love, conflict, science, and ecology. Beauty! is not merely an aesthetic reference, but becomes a tool to confront ecological and social challenges, transforming the pursuit of beauty into a true form of political resistance.

Young uses beauty, joy, and the sublime as antidotes to the divisive and toxic dynamics amplified by social media—reclaiming it instead as a space for connection, care, and collective imagination.
