Talk with Gianni Lucchesi
What thought inspired these geometries?
Why does a little man sit on concrete?
What is the significance of the brick?
These are just some of the questions you can ask the artists directly, starting with Gianni Lucchesi, who will be present at the gallery on Tuesday 15 April at 6 p.m. to talk about the themes proposed by the current exhibition, but also to explore any curiosities linked to his personal way of working and expressing himself. A second talk will be organised in May, in the company of Lorenzo Cecilioni.
GIANNI LUCCHESI
Famous in Genoa for his sculpture of a man sitting atop a tower of cubes that watched over and intrigued passers-by in Piazza De Ferrari in the autumn of 2023.
Lucchesi’s work has always been animated by the attempt to visually translate the reflections arising from the investigation of the psyche, of the emotional states of the individual in relation to himself, to others and to his surroundings. Through visual metaphors drawn from universal languages arising from artistic and spiritual research, emotions take shape and colour.
One of his codes of reference is the earth understood as subsoil, as a metaphor for the emotional stratification of the subjects observed: earth as the inner environment and roots as the essence of the subject.
A thread, for the graphic sign or for painting, is a boundary between the self and the outside, with all that it contains also free to contagion and connection on different planes as it happens in the ‘Inner Environments’ in which the lo recurs that marks the passage. The places within which his works come to life are carefully chosen.
Places with an evocative and fascinating depth brushed by nature or by the hand of man, it does not matter, as long as they have that suggestive strength to encompass the new art, the new interpretation of human feeling.
