Luca Loreti: The Artist Behind Artribune Magazine's Latest Cover
Luca Loreti, born in Chiavari in 1990, is the subject of an interview in Artribune Magazine #42. Despite failing his third year at Liceo Artistico, he found a mentor and pursued art at Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, earning a specialist diploma in Painting in December 2017. His work explores human nature and sexuality, using unconventional materials like rust on iron plates to create hybrid painting-sculptures. A punk rock enthusiast, he performed Ramones songs at Plastic, Milan in January 2017. His cover image for Artribune is a still from the rusting process of works exhibited at Bocconi Art Gallery (2016-2017). He is currently developing his thesis with Giacinto Di Pietrantonio and revisiting past projects like 'Exhibition of the year 2016' and 'Slap/Snap' series.
