Arlette and Sylvano Bussotti, Condo London hosting zaza’, 17 January – 14 February 2026
The work of the Mexican multidisciplinary artist Arlette often combines seemingly contradictory themes or materials to electrifying, sensual effect. Her use of metal, a medium associated with both longevity and art-historical nobility, is playfully undercut by her ongoing investment in expressing more fluid ideas related to luxury, sexuality, pop culture, and her own personal history. Amusement and arousal emanate from surprising places, just as both things sometimes take us by surprise in life—her practice is not merely about sex, but genuinely sexy, and any references to masculinity in her exploration of gender politics tend to be celebratory and libidinous. This interest in intimacy and sensation extends to Arlette’s work concerning faith, which is no less passionate in nature. Metal has spiritual associations in Mexican culture: the shaping of it requires graft and devotion, resulting in objects of great beauty whose high shine and imposing weight can turn abstract ideas into something physical and permanent. By giving tangibility to what might otherwise merely have been felt—like faith, or lust—Arlette takes the ephemeral and gives it a luxurious, three-dimensional luster, leaving behind pieces that are built to outlast us all.
