Luca Bertolo's Solo Exhibition in Pistoia
Luca Bertolo (born 1968 in Milan) presents a solo exhibition in Pistoia spanning figurative and abstract painting, video, and installation. Each work is part of a project redefining visual language, openly polemical against the spectacle society criticized by the Situationists. Bertolo obscures photographic portraits, turns canvases to display childlike drawings, juxtaposes geometric color fields reminiscent of Poul Gernes, and pays homage to Philip Guston with a cartoonish approach. His art is ironic, subtly unsettling, and sober in color, aiming to shift perspective and prioritize concept over image, rejecting aesthetic logic in favor of solutions that push thought beyond what is observed. The exhibition is reviewed by Niccolò Lucarelli.
