About the Item

Look carefully at one of painter Lu Cong’s hauntingly beautiful portraits, and you’ll feel like it is peering just as intently back. “When I paint someone, I’m interested in that special something inside them,” Lu says. “I like to portray their inner glow. That’s why I like them to look at me when they pose—it makes them feel like they’re open to me. Without the eye contact, it feels less personal; the subject is more like an object than a person. And I prefer a pastel palette because it makes them more vulnerable to me, more delicate.”

    Located in Milano, MI
    Urbex 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...
