Luca Monterastelli - Old Masters
Luca Monterastelli talks about his solo exhibition 'Old Masters' which was on view at KETELEER GALLERY, Antwerp 05.09 – 18.10.2020.
Luca Monterastelli was born in 1983 in Forlimpopoli, Italy. He works and lives in Milan, Italy. Monterastelli is developing and entirely individual, contemporary, sculptural vocabulary. His sculptures often consist of vertical, vaguely anthropomorphic forms, which create formal paradoxes that encourage the viewer to explore the work from up close. According to the American art critic Rosalind Krauss, a sculpture almost inevitably refers to the human body. The work of Monterastelli supports this idea. The titles of some of the works such as Only Hairs and Bones (2013) for instance, contain allusions to the physical imagination. Despite these bodily allusions, the artist makes primarily abstract work.
