Luca Napoli's ColorZenith at L.U.P.O. Gallery, Milan
Founded in 2021 by Massimiliano Lorenzelli, L.U.P.O. champions emerging talent. Following Giuditta Branconi's solo exhibition, the 2022-23 lineup includes Luca Napoli's Italian debut titled "ColorZenith." This name highlights the vivid hues present in Napoli's artwork and the Milanese lab that employs high-resolution Lightjet technology to achieve consistent prints. The collection consists of chromogenic c-prints sourced from Google Street View, portraying landscapes that Napoli likens to existing "in another dimension." These images, reimagined as manipulated paintings, yield blurred, saturated postcards. Created during the pandemic lockdown, Napoli's pieces explore the confusion between digital and physical realms, probing the internet's influence on society and everyday life, as he seeks to capture a society at its zenith.
