Biography:
Luca Alinari (Florence, 1943-2019) was among the most cultured and refined figures in the contemporary Italian art scene. His beginnings enjoyed incredible success, thanks to his early works inspired by New Dada poetry and Pop Art. In his 1970s works, ordinary objects were freely juxtaposed, with hints of conceptual and philosophical messages. Revolutionary were particularly the painting techniques used, among the most diverse. The fantastical atmospheres took precedence during the 1980s and found their definitive culmination with the Fantastic Landscapes. Throughout his career he exhibited worldwide, participating in international exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadrennial. Galleria d'Arte Piero Della Francesca was among the first galleries to sense Luca's absolute talent and hosted, in 1972, one of his first solo exhibitions. The collaboration with Luca, cemented by the fraternal friendship with Giacomo Vaiani Lisi, lasted until his death. His genius is evidenced by the wonderful works that have made him one of the most beloved masters of our time.
