Luce Gallery is proud to present the first italian solo exhibition by Matt Mignanelli.
Grattan Street, the title of the show, is the location in Brooklyn where the artist' studio is based. A place that influnced the artist perception on the city landscape and architectural view where he lives and works.
Calm is the impression that the artist has had about the Ellsworth Kelly paintings who's work he was longely been inspired by, calm and silence is probably the immediate reaction that a monochromatic Matt Mignanelli work gives to the viewer. Combination of the space mixing architectural design mode and elegance are curated by light and energy.
In his series of monochromatic works Mignanelli reexamines the evolving interactions amongst light and surface throught the use of reflective gloss and absorbing matte in the continue research of purity and simplicity.
The elegance and minimalism of the works create a constant challenge with the surface texture that plays between bidimensional and thredimensial forms.
The exhibition will display a series of new monochromatic white and black paintings.
