Biography:
Luca Alinari (Florence, 1943-2019) was one of the most cultured and refined figures on the contemporary Italian art scene. His early success came from his first works inspired by the poetics of New Dada and Pop Art. In his 1970s works, ordinary objects were freely juxtaposed, with implicit conceptual and philosophical messages. Revolutionary were, in particular, the painting techniques used, among the most varied. The fantastical atmospheres took over during the 1980s and reached their definitive crown with the Fantastic Landscapes. Throughout his career he exhibited worldwide, participating in international events such as the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadriennale. The Piero Della Francesca Art Gallery was among the first galleries to discern Luca’s absolute talent and hosted, in 1972, one of his early solo shows. The collaboration with Luca, cemented by a fraternal friendship with Giacomo Vaiani Lisi, lasted until his passing. His genius is testified by the wonderful works that made him a master beloved in our time.
