Aniela Preston's 'Cheaper than therapy' at L.U.P.O. Gallery, Milan
British artist Aniela Preston (b. 1998, Coventry) presents her solo exhibition 'Cheaper than therapy' at L.U.P.O. gallery in Milan, running from March 2024. The gallery, founded in 2021 by Massimiliano Lorenzelli (b. 1995) and co-directed by Pier Francesco Petracchi with gallery manager Federico Brayda-Bruno, is located at Corso Buenos Aires 2. Preston's works blend Renaissance techniques with contemporary perspectives, creating 'Capriccios' that explore the unconscious and challenge reality. Her paintings address themes of isolation, inner exile, and the human condition, using the lion as a recurring metaphor for sadness. The exhibition offers a reflection on modern life and the cyclical nature of history, questioning whether humanity learns from its mistakes.
