- David Schnell
Eduardo Secci is pleased to announce the first solo show by David Schnell in Milan, opening at NOVO in Via Olmetto on September 21, 2022. The exhibition curated by Pier Paolo Pancotto in the independent experimental space of the gallery takes place until November 11, 2022.
The works conceived in the last nine years give an overview of the process of interweaving nature and architecture in David Schnell’s painting. This choice, inspired by a one-year stay in Rome in 2013, continues to be developed still today.
While earlier, the starting point of the German artist’s work consisted mainly of landscape subjects, in these paintings, the interaction between landscape elements and urban architecture from different ages brings to new spatial experience.
“His language blends, in fact, figuration and non-figuration, academia and technology, with the capacity of converting the ghosts of socialist realism into refined references to the art history ranging from ancient to historical avant-gardes”, as the curator Pier Paolo Pancotto writes.
