A misura d'uomo: Contemporary Artists Reimagine Leonardo's Vitruvian Man in Milan

The Luca Tommasi Arte Contemporanea gallery in Milan presents 'A misura d'uomo', a group exhibition curated by Antonella Palladino that reinterprets Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man through contemporary abstraction. The show features artists including Ian Davenport, Peter Zimmermann, Davide Benati, Letizia Galli, Patrick Tabarelli, Alberto Di Fabio, and Alexis Harding. Works predominantly employ geometric forms like circles and squares, symbols of heaven and earth, to explore the disappearance of man from the center of the universe. Davenport uses square formats with undulating diagonal lines; Zimmermann's epoxy resin pieces create artificial, reflective surfaces; Benati references Leonardo's Sala delle Asse; Galli's 'Binary tree' sculpture grows exponentially; Tabarelli employs a drawing-machine programmed with algorithms; Di Fabio's 'Codice Atlantico' evokes chaos; and Harding's 'Centre' manipulates paint by gravity. The exhibition runs until a date not specified in the source.
