Leonardo Lucchi - The Angels

In the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to represent an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color.

As we can see in this work, Leonardo Lucchi begins with a classical conception of sculpture, based on the representation of the human figure. However, the artist does not hesitate to force nature to pursue his expressive goals. Thus, in this bas-relief, the square and compressed space leads Lucchi to deform the bodies, elongating and squashing them, so that they can follow the fluid rhythmic flow established by the central opening. With this compositional solution, the work acquires great dynamism and remarkable expressive vigor.

Leonardo Lucchi was born in Cesena in 1952. He trained at the Istituto d'Arte per la Ceramica in Faenza. He has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions and received important commissions. Examples include the Risen Christ and the Stations of the Cross for the Catholic Church of the Holy Trinity in Singapore, the coins minted by the Republic of San Marino for the bicentenary of the French Revolution, and, in Cesena, the important bronze groups preserved in the cathedral.
