"Smoking" Alessandro Busci Solo ExhibitionNovalis Art Design
The exhibition is Alessandro Busci’s first solo exhibition in Asia, supported by the Italian Cultural Institute in Hong Kong. The exhibition will feature Busci's paintings as well as art jewellery from his collaboration with Babs Art Gallery. @babsartgallery Busci generates delicate signs as a sapient calligrapher, outlining dark flashes, nocturnal lights, hypnotic monochrome landscapes with difficult promise. A dark vision of the urban drama in the world. His paintings full of gestures that prophesy the oily, petroliferous worlds, of atmospheres where hope persists only through some rare concession of a few touches of yellow or orange.
Since 2002 Busci has been painting on iron or metal sheets, dipped in acid solution to activate the oxidation process. While the rust is forming and spreading, Busci works on the damp sheet using mainly acrylics and enamels and a Japanese calligraphy brush.
