Light and complex: Gabriele Landi's new paper sculptures on display in Sarzana

Light, delicate, abstract: these are the new paper sculptures by Gabriele Landi (Schaerbeek, 1971), which the Ligurian artist is exhibiting this week at Palazzo Picedi in Sarzana as part of the exhibition Solid Uncertainties.

The idea comes from one of Giacomo Leopardi’s best-known writings, the Dialogue of Nature and an Icelander: Landi, without any moralistic, resolving nor much less didactic or paradigmatic pretensions, wants to try to give a form to the rending conflict between Human Beings and Nature, and he does so with these “sculptural objects” (so he calls them) that have no defined forms, and stand as works that represent, through different plastic evolutions and distortions, the eternal clash-encounter between culture and nature, between human beings and their surroundings.

A relationship, this, that over time has known increasingly complicated dynamics, with the paradox that human beings, by their inclination, do everything to call themselves out of the wild order of Nature that generated them. This detachment today is revealed in all its fragility with very heavy repercussions on humankind itself and the environment that surrounds it.

The Sarzana exhibition venue will enter into dialogue with the artist’s works and sculptures going to create a contemplative and reflective environment. Hours: until Sept. 3 from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m.

Gabriele Landi, who graduated in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan in 1996, lives and works in the province of La Spezia. His work is exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions. For more info: https://www.instagram.com/landigab/
