Three Romans. Emiliano Maggi, Marco Palmieri, Gianni Politi

Galleria Lorcan O’Neill is pleased to announce ‘Three Romans’, an exhibition featuring the most recent works by Emiliano Maggi, Marco Palmieri, and Gianni Politi.

These three young Roman artists have contributed to reviving and invigorating the contemporary art scene in Rome and extending it internationally.

In the dreamlike world of Emiliano Maggi, fairytale elements and folkloric rituals merge with psychedelic scenarios and images based on 1970s horror films to give life to performances, drawings, paintings, photographic works, and intricate ceramic sculptures. 

Marco Palmieri grew up in Rome and went on to study at the Royal Academy in London alongside artists such as Eddie Peake and Prem Sahib. Palmieri’s paintings are marked by delicate graphic lines over flat blocks of colour that evoke recognizable design motifs and frame portraits recalling the tradition of figurative drawing.

Gianni Politi uses the surface of large canvases to create abstract forms and undefined landscapes layering scraps of previous works which are reassembled into new compositions. Fragments of destroyed canvases and pieces of coloured paper thus become the favoured medium of the artist’s abstract research.
