Francisco Tropa's 'Ladri' at Alessandra Bonomo Gallery in Rome

Portuguese artist Francisco Tropa (Lisbon, 1968) presents his first solo show at Alessandra Bonomo Gallery in Rome, titled 'Ladri', inspired by the ancient Roman board game Latrunculi. The installation features movable elements that visitors can partially rearrange, recreating the dynamics of the game. Bronze lanterns and geometric serigraphs on the walls evoke an archaic atmosphere, while dim lighting reinforces a mythical, collective memory theme central to Tropa's work. The game motif transforms static objects into anticipatory movement, awaiting the next move. The exhibition runs until May 31, 2016, at Via del Gesù 62, Rome.
