Nathaniel Mary Quinn's Illusionary Collages at LUCE Gallery in Turin
Nathaniel Mary Quinn (Chicago, 1977) presents his works at LUCE Gallery in Turin until January 12, 2017. His paintings, inspired by real people from New York, appear as collages but are actually layered portraits created with tape removed after each section. The works evoke Cubism and comics, combining realism and fiction with anthropomorphic features on white backgrounds. Small pieces are meticulously detailed, while larger ones remain exploratory but visually compelling. The exhibition is titled "St. Marks" at Corso San Maurizio 25.
