exhibition · 2026-05-04

Richard Long, born in Bristol in 1945, presents a solo exhibition at Tucci Russo in Turin. The show features mud works and geometric forms (circles, lines, ellipses) drawn with bare hands, reflecting his practice of walking and leaving rational traces of human passage. Long's art does not disrupt nature but interacts with it as a pilgrimage, using mud as a primitive mirror of history. The exhibition synthesizes human chaos and natural purity, offering a universal transformation. The text is a review by Federica Maria Giallombardo published on Artribune.
