LORENZO SCOTTO di LUZIO
Besser Einkaufen Besser Leben
15 March - 2 May 2014
Galleria Fonti is pleased to presentBesser Einkaufen Besser Leben, third solo exhibition by Lorenzo Scotto di Luzio.
The artist presents four big size wooden sculptures inspired to the warentrenner, (in English grocery divider), anonymous object, free from any narrative reference be it visual or literary, that is upgraded to minimalist artwork through proportions and form.
With Besser einkaufen besser leben, that in English we could translate "better is the purchase better is life", Lorenzo Scotto di Luzio refers to the slogan of one of the most popular supermarket chain in Germany coming back, as in several his previous works, to the theme of the fiction in which minimal or of little importance objects and situations are showed in order to create problems to the perception of the reality to which they are normally related.
Reproducing through drawing the graphic of the most well known discounts, the artist realizes what we could call ironic captions, on the margin of objects full of distressing and alienating density.
The exhibition is completed by paintings representing fruit and vegetables, produces necessary to our daily life and that the warentrenner carefully divides but that only the artist lights revealing all the ambiguity of reality.
