Leonardo Crudi (1988) - Sigaretta II

Leonardo Crudi, Cigarette II, 2026
Enamel on poster maquette paper, 60 × 40 cm.

The work belongs to the new series created by Leonardo Crudi for By Night, Night and Day, dedicated to the small, repetitive gestures of everyday life. In Cigarette II, the act of smoking is isolated and transformed into an image through an essential, geometric and highly recognizable graphic construction.

Leonardo Crudi (Rome, 1988), trained in the world of graffiti writing, develops an artistic practice that combines graphic realism and abstraction, drawing on Italian Neorealism, the Russian avant-garde, Roman Pop Art, underground cinema, visual poetry and Futurism. A co-founder of Collettivo 900, he has exhibited in Italy and abroad and created numerous public art interventions in Rome.

An original, unique work from the artist’s most recent body of work.
