Federico Tosi's Rebellious Bonsai Break Free at Milan Show
Federico Tosi (born 1988, Milan) presents his third solo exhibition at Galleria Monica De Cardenas in Milan, titled after the rebellious bonsai that break their ceramic pots. The show explores themes of subversion and freedom, inspired by a residency in the Philippines. Works include bonsai sculptures in ceramic and colored resins, watercolors of dogs escaping their owners (depicting an AI-generated jungle), and rows of fingers on shelves. The artist uses AI-generated imagery, then manually transposes it into watercolor, subverting generative rules. The exhibition runs at Monica De Cardenas, Milan, in 2024.
