Paolo Gioli's Retrospective at Peep-Hole, Milan
The Peep-Hole in Milan is hosting a major exhibition focused on Paolo Gioli, an Italian artist born in 1942 in Sarzano di Rovigo, who, despite his impactful work, isn't widely recognized internationally. This exhibition is set in a mezzanine and features pieces created from the 1960s all the way to 2009. Gioli's 'Omaggi' series honors key figures in photography and art, including Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, Alphonse Poitevin, Julia Margaret Cameron, and others like Courbet and van Gogh. Among the displayed artworks are shaped canvases, rayographs, mosquito skeletons, contemporary daguerreotypes, and the 2009 series 'Il finish delle figure,' which uses photofinish techniques. You can check it out until May 28, 2016.
