Luca Maria Patella on His Exhibition and Book NON OSO / OSO NON essere

Luca Maria Patella discusses his recent exhibitions at Laura Bulian Gallery in Milan, Galleria Il Ponte in Florence, and Galleria Milano, which have revived interest in his pioneering work. He emphasizes his multidisciplinary approach, integrating classical values, self-analysis, and behavioral observations of a transforming world. Patella describes his practice as 'realist' and 'trans-formative,' rejecting the label 'philosophical' in favor of 'psychic.' He highlights his book-catalogue NON OSO / OSO NON essere (Galleria Il Ponte, Florence, gli Ori ed., 2017, ca. 150 pages), which serves as an additional work to the two solo shows. The book includes a preface by Alberto Fiz, an interview by Ilaria Bernardi, and documents Patella's unusual formation spanning science, psychoanalysis, art, and non-art, tracing back to his early childhood. Patella references influences from Linus Pauling to Ernst Bernhard, and his own 'Quaderni dei Sogni & Progetti.' He positions the book as a complex linguistic and psycho-socio-political inquiry, opening a new sector titled 'Luca & Rosa at Madmountain = Inc. – Cosc.' Patella has also received literary prizes including the Grinzane Cavour.
