Self-portraits in virtual reality

Alessandro Papetti is an Italian artist who lives and works in Milan. His paintings are of night-time scenes: windswept forests, cityscapes, factory interiors, shipyards. His nudes and portraits powerfully express the pain of living.

Ugo Riva is an Italian sculptor who lives and works near Milan. His deities and his heroes are messengers from another world. Riva’s sculptures, with their scratched draperies, seem to be from the serene universe of a timeless classicism.

Giovanni Frangi is an Italian painter and sculptor who lives and works in Milan. His painting has gradually freed itself from the need for a description of reality and relies above all on the suggestion of colour, thus inventing a new poetry of nature.

Marco Cornini is an Italian sculptor who lives and works in Milan. His terracottas fuse tradition and contemporaneity, the art of the past with the languages of fashion and advertising: all under the banner of an intriguing sensuality.
