Light in MAGNA GRECIA
About
Within this exhibition, Giuseppe Q. Lupoli aims to create unique artworks with multiple and different meanings. The cyanotype or blue printing tecnique – that had its origin during the XIX century – here is applied with a particular variation: it takes on the tone of the Puglia Region area, through a color shift and additional painted intervention. The light, meeting each subject of the composition, becomes matter as tangible as a building, a square, or a street crossed by a passerby.
Through his gaze, the artist creates works that have the power to transform when they come into contact with external bodies, revealing their hidden characteristics. All the places depicted were historically connected to the Magna Graecia, a territory that still holds traces of ancient peoples, and are analyzed in their evolving metamorphosis.
