The Art of Lorenzo Nanni[1]
Lorenzo Nanni operates with subtlety in the realms of the beautiful and the ugly.
Lorenzo Nanni.
He is inspired by botany and anatomy; his gaze is scientific and his expertly embroidered forms are surrealistic, reminding the viewer of living nature - both expressive and aggressive.
Each detail is studied through a magnifying glass. Flora and fauna are reinterpreted through mutant flowers, carnivore plants and grotesque, sprawling creatures, who thrive in felt and silk.
Nanni dissects the human body. By cutting the skin he retrieves organs and viscera that look like vibrant and precious jewellery.
His work makes us travel in a phantasmagorical world, diving into the abyss of our flesh and accelerating our perception of nature that surrounds us.
The viewer is surprised by the illusions and contrasts that he creates.
