Gianni Politi | GALLERIA LORCAN O’NEILL

GIANNI POLITI. PAINTING AND SCULPTURE
06 Dic 2016 – 17 Feb 2017

Gianni Politi (Rome 1986) makes paintings – both abstract and figurative – which explore ways to confront and use the artistic wealth he inherited as a young Italian artist.

This exhibition includes large abstract paintings, great colour fields made by over-layering parts cut from other canvases to make a new whole; a series of paintings based on a portrait by Gaetano Gandolfi (Bologna 1734-1802); and a group of bronze wall works, casts from old wooden stretchers of discarded paintings, with keys of fancy marbles and woods.

In keeping with the museum-like installation of the show, a long bench for the centre of the gallery has been commissioned by the artist from architect Giuseppe Pasquali.

Gianni Politi has participated in numerous exhibitions, including his recent one-person show at the Galleria Nazionale in Rome, and a major presentation at the Nomas Foundation in Rome, 2015.
