Matteo Negri's Sculptural Projections at Galleria Monopoli in Milan
Matteo Negri (born 1982 in San Donato Milanese) presents new wall-mounted sculptures at Galleria Monopoli in Milan. The works combine colored films and graphite layers on aluminum or paper, creating iridescent reflections that shift with gallery lighting. Negri's compositions reference Bruno Munari's 1950s 'Proiezioni Dirette' series, which dematerialized art through light painting. While Munari sought immateriality, Negri reverses this process, using interlocking forms, chromatic variations, and reflective surfaces to enhance volumetric and spatial presence. The installations aim to engage viewers in an architecturally immersive experience, occupying both the gallery's large rooms and the visitor's visual and environmental perception.
