With A Great Job, KROMYA Art Gallery continues its dedication to emerging artists through the •YOUNG section, focused on the most contemporary artistic languages and the exploration of new creative voices. This group exhibition stems from a long-standing relationship between Marco Casentini — established artist and professor at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts — and six young artists who, at different times and through different paths, experienced his guidance: Cristina De Pedrojuan, Genea Lardini, Luca Lombardi, Alice Romano, Silvia Rosa, and Silvia Simonetti.

A Great Job is not a pedagogical showcase nor an academic celebration. It is the result of a shared time, of a form of transmission that never sought to impose itself, but occurred naturally — through proximity, quiet observation, and mutual curiosity. Casentini cultivated a fertile space where gestures, choices, and artistic thinking could develop freely, independently of any imposed structure. Within that space, the artists in this exhibition found their voice — sometimes in alignment, sometimes through divergence.

The exhibition features a rich diversity of artistic approaches, including painting, drawing, engraving, mixed media, and unconventional materials. Each work reflects an individual process, shaped over time and driven by a deeply personal exploration of form, matter, and identity.

The title A Great Job, a phrase often spoken by Casentini in the studio with a mix of lightness and sincerity, becomes here both affectionate and ironic — a quiet acknowledgment of the meaningful labor that arises when art is born in trust, freedom, and intuition. It suggests a shared experience that goes beyond teaching, a kind of collaborative shaping of vision.

The exhibition also acts as a generational snapshot: a vivid glimpse into the sensitivities of contemporary young artists shaped by a common environment — a classroom, a studio, a moment of connection — and later developed into autonomous and distinct voices. It captures a temporary community, a fluid circle of influence and practice, still evolving beyond the academic setting.

Ultimately, A Great Job is an homage to the human dimension of artistic education: to the slow time of observation, to the value of gestures shared in silence, and to the creative power of doubt and experimentation. It speaks of what remains after the teacher has left the room.
