Michele Lombardelli's 'Partiture Sottrattive' at Spazio Leonardo, Milan

Michele Lombardelli (Cremona, 1968) presents 'Partiture Sottrattive', a solo exhibition at Spazio Leonardo in Milan, organized by Galleria UNA of Piacenza. The show explores the intersection of painting and music through geometric abstraction and subtractive color theory. A large wall painting features three fields of secondary colors (orange, violet, green) created by overlapping primary colors. Abstract paintings are placed on this background, described by the artist as 'geometric scores, silent sequences that dialogue with the chromatic background and the sound diffused in the environment.' Four tuning forks with different frequencies generate a subtle acoustic field. Another large blue wall painting hosts small colored drawings, layering like in his previous works. The conceptual approach references historical avant-gardes of the 20th century, including Bauhaus and De Stijl, with Piet Mondrian as a key reference. The exhibition emphasizes precision, silence, and attention, offering viewers freedom of interpretation in an age of distraction.
