Antonio Marchetti Lamera's Monograph 'Raggi ombrosi' Explores Shadow and Painting
Antonio Marchetti Lamera, born in Torre Pallavicina in 1964, has released a monograph titled 'Raggi ombrosi', curated by critic Angela Madesani. The title pays homage to Leonardo da Vinci's term for shadows as 'shady rays'. Marchetti Lamera's practice begins with photography to capture shadows, then moves through drawing to painting. His recent exhibition was held at Nuova Galleria Morone in Milan. Since 2011, he has served as mayor of Torre Pallavicina, transforming Palazzo Barbò into a contemporary art space, hosting shows by Piero Manzoni, Maurizio Donzelli, Massimo Minini, Piero Almeoni, and a collaboration with Studio la Città di Verona. The monograph reflects a long collaboration with Madesani, emphasizing human relationships over professional ones.
