Sicioldr's Dreamlike Paintings at Primo Marella Gallery in Milan

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Primo Marella Gallery in Milan presents 'Il Teatro capovolto del Sognatore di mondi', a solo exhibition of recent works by Alessandro Bianchi, known as Sicioldr (born 1990 in Tarquinia). The show features a dozen oil and charcoal pieces that blend Symbolist and metaphysical influences with a contemporary sensibility. Sicioldr, who has a background in computer science, cites Flemish primitives and 19th-century Symbolists like Odilon Redon as major inspirations. The exhibition includes works such as 'Il Crepuscolo', 'Il Rito', 'La piramide', 'Il Silenzio', 'Epifania del Candore', 'Il Labirinto', 'La Fuga', 'Il risveglio', and 'La Grande Visita', which references Renaissance religious themes with a dissacrating twist. The artist describes his creative process as capturing fleeting impressions in notebooks, transforming them into layered allegorical images. The exhibition marks the gallery's autumn season opening.
