Lupo Borgonovo's Poetic Fusion of Ancient and Modern at Milan Show
Lupo Borgonovo (born 1985, Milan) presents works at Galleria Monica de Cardenas in Milan, where rice paper's butterfly-like lightness contrasts with bronze sinuosity and pastel delicacy. The artist alternates natural and quasi-sacred elements from ancient rituals: butterflies from the Agua series, carved turtle shells from Konko, bronze Ibu pieces resembling daggers or shamanic objects, and an antique German ivory saddle titled Chevalon. Symmetry is emphasized as a metaphor for cosmic harmony enveloping humans between reality, mythology, and nature's microcosm. Time dilates through the blend of ancient and modern, serving as learned metaphors for preserving myths and traditions as identity foundations. The article is by Niccolò Lucarelli.
