Upsilon Gallery Milano presents ‘You Fit Me Better’, a solo exhibition by Croatian artist Matija Čop, on view from 10 September to 4 October 2026. The exhibition takes place concurrently with Cycle’s Jeans Pop-up during Milan Fashion Week 2026.
Čop’s exhibition brings together a selection of sculptural works and works on paper that reflect, both formally and conceptually, central elements of his practice: translation, relationships and construction through interlocking. The sculptures translate personal sound recordings into soft three-dimensional forms.
The same principle extends to the works on paper, in which independent layers of intricately cut paper are superimposed and brought into relation until they form a single body. Their construction through separate layers makes the relationship between individual elements part of the works’ formation as a single body.
The intersection thus becomes a symbol of the union between the artist and his partner: a connection in which two individual identities remain distinct while supporting one another. Through these processes, Čop gives tangible form to what ordinarily escapes physical representation, translating sound, intimacy and human connection into material presence.
Within the context of Milan Fashion Week, this reflection opens to the notion of clothing as an extension of the body, where material participates in the construction and expression of identity.
