Politi’s new exhibition presents over twenty large paintings that divide into two groups: large colorful abstract paintings which he refers to as interior landscapes; and portraits based on a 1770 work by the neoclassical Italian painter Gaetano Gandolfi of a bearded man, an image that reminded Politi of his father, who died aged 78 when the artist was just 16. Some of the paintings include a frame with a bronze “ouroboros”, the ancient emblem of a snake biting its own tail - a symbol of eternity - hinting at the cyclical nature of life and art.

Gianni Politi (1986, Rome) lives and works in Rome. His recent projects include a current show curated by Sarah McCrory of sculpture and painting at Monteverdi, Siena; bronzes and paintings at Fonderia Battaglia, Milan, 2018; paintings at McNamara Art Projects, Hong Kong, 2018; bronzes at 56 Henry Street, New York, 2018; and shows at Nomas Foundation, Rome, 2015; MAXXI, Rome, 2015; Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Rome, 2014; Istituto di Cultura Italiana, Prague, 2014.
