“Linee” Solo show, Guidi&Schoen contemporary art, Genova, Italy

Alessandro Lupi was born in Genoa in 1975 and lives and works in Berlin. He studied at the Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti in Genoa: in those years his artistic research already appears to be focused on the use of light as a tool to act on perception and stimulate new cognitive processes. In 1997 he began the series of works Densità Fluorescenti, sculptures made by placing side by side countless threads painted with fluorescent pigments. Over the years he has then developed several lines of research favoring site-specific interventions, kinetic and interactive works, hosted by prestigious international public institutions. Each work is created by Lupi starting from an idea or invention that acts on the spectator stimulating his imagination and guiding him towards a different way of perceiving and configuring reality.The Genoese artist, who has lived in Berlin for more than 10 years, returns to exhibit in his city with a series of site-specific installations that dialogue with the space through the three floors of the gallery. Heterogeneous works that find a “line” that reflects on the ability to create illusions, cognitive short circuits and reflections on the perception of reality. In a world increasingly dominated by virtuality, in which experiences become superficial, ephemeral, low-definition, working with space and matter becomes an important aspect to understand that in reality are hidden the stimuli to create a broader and more subjective fitness of imagination.
