ALESSANDRO BUSCI

Milano, 1971

The protagonist of this new solo exhibit by Alessandro Busci is the jewel, which the artist has created in a dozen numbered pieces, returning the features of some of the iconic subjects of his paintings.

Urban and natural architectures take the form of artist’s jewels, which meaning is not necessarily expressed according to the same parameters of traditional jewelry. The value of the artist’s jewel lies in the art of the person who conceived it, in the ability to condense the vision into an extremely small artifact and subject to a series of constraints that make it wearable, durable and above all ornamental.

BIO
