Nino + Dad (Home Studies)

Available Items
Tivoli, New York
October 9–November 15, 2026

Available Items is delighted to present a deeply personal body of work by celebrated interiors photographer Chris Mottalini that examines different aspects of home, family, childhood, memory, culture, and landscape. The series is the result of an intimate collaboration between Chris and his son, Nino, who constructed and photographed elaborate still lifes depicting their home life in New York and Thailand over the course of four years (2022–2026). Featuring hand-painted surfaces, foraged plants and fruits, and family heirlooms, each image is rich with symbolism, storytelling, and high contrast reminiscent of a Dutch Masters still life. A selection of limited edition photographic prints will be presented in Nino + Dad (Home Studies) from October 9 through November 15.
