Marco Petrus: New Labyrinths of Urban Vision
Marco Petrus, a painter known for his architectural cityscapes, presents new works exploring the labyrinthine vision of urban environments. Born in Rimini but raised in Milan's Brera district, Petrus grew up surrounded by art and intellectual ferment. His father, Vitale Petrus, was a prominent painter in 1960s Milan, and his mother, Giuliana, was a cultured translator of Russian and Oriental literature. The artist's focus remains on the city—especially Milan—as both subject and inspiration, capturing its evolving identity through precise, geometric compositions.
