Biography:
Luca Alinari (Florence, 1943-2019) was one of the most cultured and refined figures on the Italian contemporary art scene. He had a stunning early breakthrough, thanks to his first works inspired by the poetics of New Dada and Pop Art. In his works from the 1970s, ordinary objects were freely juxtaposed, with intrinsic conceptual and philosophical insinuations. The techniques used were revolutionary, among the most diverse. Fantastical atmospheres took hold in the 1980s and found their definitive culmination with the Fantastic Landscapes. Over his career he exhibited worldwide, participating in international exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadriennale. Galleria d'Arte Piero Della Francesca was among the first galleries to sense Luca's absolute talent and hosted, in 1972, one of his early solo shows. The collaboration with Luca, cemented by fraternal friendship with Giacomo Vaiani Lisi, lasted until his passing. The marvelous works that have made him a master beloved in our time remain as testament to his genius.
