About the Item
In highly developed nations today there is a widespread alienation and loneliness that engenders fear and distrust, a restrictive self-righteousness of thought, and a dread of what-comes-next that has created broken societies. This can be traced back to a number of factors: racial discrimination and fear of fading privilege; growing wealth gaps; an increasingly inhospitable natural world; technological advancement surpassing our capacity to adjust, etc. Everywhere I see how this tense climate affects people, and how some of us are turning to misguided and dangerous means to renew our sense of interconnectivity. The resultant paintings describe a rising epidemic of estrangement through enigmatic, fractured narratives that further isolate the figures within.

Andrew Lyman
Andrew Lyman remains committed to realism, though his style elicits some sort of mysterious dreamscape quality that is hard to put your finger on. It's the sort of distinctive quality that marks the works of significant emerging artists. Lyman’s statement about his work in general, “My paintings draw from movies and photographs to create images that appear cinematic in structure, but lack the illusion of decisiveness intrinsic to that medium. Leading lines fracture the picture plane, encouraging the eye to wander through narratives that are never quite conclusive. These are not climactic moments or characters of action. They, like us, are prone to looking around—often at one another; a little bewildered, somewhat remote. Certain figures and objects are rendered in detail, while others might be reduced to a flattened silhouette, or are dripping away, or else are only suggested by a rogue protruding limb. All that goes unsaid evokes a sense of unease that is distinct from our time.”

- PantheonLocated in Milano, MIUrbex is the English acronym for urban exploration and is an activity that consists of searching for and locating abandoned infrastructure with the goal of visiting, photographing and conveying its contents, with particular involvement of methodologies from geography, anthropology, sociology to cultural studies. Her works have been in the past approached to the works of Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945) and Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1770), but in Gullotta's paintings the absence of color makes the spaces particularly ethereal, allowing them to be ideally lifted to new places and to new life. An artist of international caliber who has decided to entrust her return to her homeland to Almach Art Gallery in Milan, while maintaining connections with important galleries, such as Marlborough Fine Art in London and Galerie Koch in Hanover. The artwork represents the famous Velasca Tower in Milan. This artwork was exhibited during the Daniela Gullotta...Category
