Cugusi’s art cites and deconstructs the themes and genres of classical painting, opening up windows onto parallel worlds where sacred and profane symbols merge, all logical principles are subverted and apparently unrelated objects are linked by mysterious bonds. Curated by Luca Cheri and Camilla Mattola, the exhibition explores the artist’s most recent work: large canvases that revisit the traditional genres of landscape, still life, the nude and portraiture, combining recognizable iconographic elements, abstract forms and gestural brushwork in an unexpected way.
