Loris Cecchini
Loris Cecchini (Milano, 1969) is one of the most important Italian artists on the international scene, famous for his large-scale installations that elaborate concepts of organic growth and natural processes. Through the use of different materials and innovative techniques, Cecchini creates complex works that explore the limits of artistic creation, with constantly evolving results. His works, ranging from domestic to museum and environmental size, combine photography, drawing, sculpture, 3D processing and installations in a unitary poetics. The biological metaphor and movement represent the fundamental principles underlying his research, acting as a starting point for his projects, managing to capture the essence of plant life in forms that challenge conventions. An imaginary that feeds on the relationship between nature, culture, aesthetics and architecture, and that finds a synthesis in the osmosis and stratification of materials.
The most recent installations built on stainless steel modules use the organism as a recurring theme to explore the complex evolution of art in relation to space and science. In a rich variety of works, his steel modules combine to form images of climbing plants, corals or crystalline structures, developing organically in a series of surprising trajectories. A repeatable element, designed to be composed in different ways, the module is the primordial nucleus through which potentially unlimited organisms can grow, rhizomatic entities that follow a development similar to that of plants where decentralized forms of organization are repeated until they form vast and complex structures.
Loris Cecchini has exhibited in solo and group shows at prestigious museums in the major cities around the world, has participated in the most important international exhibitions and has created permanent and site-specific installations in public spaces in Italy and abroad.
