Flatlandia: Ermini and Milani at Milan's Artribune Space

The exhibition 'Flatlandia,' curated by Antonio Grulli, presents works by Gabriele Ermini and Jimmy Milani at Artribune's space in Milan. Inspired by Edwin A. Abbott's novel 'Flatland,' the show explores the fusion of two-dimensional and three-dimensional realities through painting. Ermini (b. 1996) employs a figurative style with digital and graphic influences, using an airbrush for ultramarine blue backgrounds and hyper-detailed elements like knights and egg yolks, emphasizing painterly process over subject. Milani (b. 1995) focuses on installation and structural aspects, incorporating doodles and everyday objects in blue and red on canvas, then encasing them in custom plastic sleeves resembling ring binders. The exhibition concludes with diptychs of black circles on white canvas, framed sculpturally, evoking eyes observing reality. The show runs from January 2024 at Artribune, Milan.
