Luca Francesconi (b.1979, Mantova, Italy) has recently had his
work shown in solo exhibitions at the Umberto Di Marino in Naples
and Fluxia in Milan. He has shown in group shows at Palais
the Tokyo in Paris, Fondazione Sandretto Rebaudengo in Turin, and
Le Magasin-Cnanc in Grenoble. He is represented by Umberto Di Marino in
Naples and Fluxia in
Milan. Luca Francesconi lives and works in Paris and Milan.
Luca Francesconi is known to work with elements of folk art in his
exhibitions to incorporate elements of art and tradition. In his
exhibition at Umberto di Marino Gallery, “Calendario delle semine”
he used wood, bronze, glass, ceramic, plastic, clay, and alluvial
soil in a way that each material had meaning along with aesthetic
use.
Francesconi often makes use of shadow. “Gladio” is an installation
that uses the strategic placement of a piece of a swordfish to
create a shadow on white gallery wall. Luca’s Italian origin can be
observed in his work, specifically, “Mask.” Which is a wrought
copper engraving of the face of a man.
