Carlo Galli
Galli desecrates the forbidden, ousting it from its old historical throne and adding a playful connotation, even if not necessarily a real one, as if it were a children's game.
Carlo Galli captivates and seduces his audience with surprising forms and colors, only to continue by slapping them in the face with concrete facts. He fully grasps the violent negative charge that emanates from objects, deconstructing and reassembling them with new meanings, thus transforming them into devices for sensory delight and, subsequently, intellectual pleasure. All of this, while always remaining aware that culture is nothing more (nor less) than a game.
