About Gianluca Martini

I was born in Recanati, Italy, where I currently live and work. ______________________________________ My artistic journey began with documenting photographic travels in disused urban areas. Places apparently abandoned, is creating a symbiosis between man and nature with evocative metamorphosis of color shapes. I face my research through paintings, sculptures and installations. I reproduce those chromatic and aesthetic feelings through pigments and rust, forcing aging processes. By means of simple recovery elements, such as nails and iron wire, I describe the imperfect condition of man and the states of malaise that lead to illness; to create escape routes with imaginary maps. I describe portions of space in which grotesque machines are enclosed that try to feed fossilized plants. Aliment with the sun artificial plants and create shadows of memories projected on glass showcase as a reminder of something that has been lost. I try to make the tone of the messages strong, in a harmonious and pleasant way. The intent is to capture the attention for a moment of reflection between so much noise and indifference.
