Garzillo and Barcellona Double Solo Show at Patricia Armocida Gallery in Milan
Patricia Armocida Gallery in Milan is hosting a double solo exhibition featuring Salvatore Garzillo (born 1987, Naples) and Luca Barcellona (born 1978, Milan). Both artists share an impulsive gesture of writing as a meditative act. Garzillo, also known as Salgar, works as a crime journalist; his artworks are instinctive reflections created on metro tickets, bar napkins, or using soil pigments, drawing from police identikit imagery. Barcellona, an internationally recognized graphic designer and calligrapher, presents "Lost in strokes," a synthesis of thirty years of research where letters are repeated like a mantra, abstracted from meaning to become pure signs. The gallery is located near the Naviglio Grande canal in Milan.
