An artist's book that investigates the real/virtual duality by connecting Politi's artworks on display at the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome with the Museum's virtual tour. Politi's practice, which includes collages, overlappings, and juxtapositions, transforms the physical space and its perception, and turns it into a new artwork of its own.
Gianni Politi (born 1986 in Rome) is an Italian artist.
Using classic materials that are in keeping with Italy's pictorial tradition, Politi developed an approach straddling processes that are personal and that take place in the studio, even as he engages in producing images that would appear spontaneous. The studio thus morphs into both container and object of his work; the diverse output of his painting can even cross over in the use of sculpture to enable him to better narrate the struggle of being a contemporary painter. As he sets about redefining contemporary abstract painting the artist does not shy away from relying on personal experience and happenings in his life; as he channels paramount themes such as love, friendship and sexuality he keeps up a constant effort to idolise whatever materials he works with.
