Luca Monterastelli's First Solo Show at Lia Rumma, Milan
Luca Monterastelli (Forlimpopoli, 1983) presents his first solo exhibition at Galleria Lia Rumma in Milan, occupying three floors with welded steel structures and plaster assemblages. The ground floor features large-scale steel sculptures that hover above the floor, encoding 'unstable forces,' while other elements climb the walls. The upper level showcases plaster conglomerates forming architectural shapes that detach from steel bases, engaging with the surrounding space. The exhibition marks a rare shift in Monterastelli's practice, known for his concrete works in group shows and fairs, as he reconsiders his artistic direction within the prestigious gallery that has hosted many masters.
