The Gracis gallery of Milan and the Photo&Contemporary gallery of Turin are pleased to invite you to the opening of Emil Lukas: The Narration of Light, the new solo exhibition of the artist, Emil Lukas (Pittsburgh, 1964), on September 20th, from 6 pm.
The artist works upon the mechanisms of perception, thus accumulating signs, elements and materials which, although of a certain intrinsic abundance, tend to dissolve their very structure into something lighter, celestial and spiritual. Lukas' distinctive use of daily organic materials, such as thread, plaster, larvae, and water soluble paints, as well as his innovative techniques, all contribute towards the creation of Intricate works that involve the spectator in both an intimate and a contemplative way.
In his works, Lukas juxtaposes patterns and situations of variation, expansion and, in doing so, he reflects the Nature and the Beauty that grow out of chaos and daily life. His language fuses together action with thought. His work is the process through which the actual work itself finds accomplishment.
