Giorgio Griffa’s most recent exhibition at Galleria Lorcan O’Neill focuses on the connection between his paintings from the 1980s and the present. The exhibition displays work from the 1980s and 1990s alongside those created over the last decade, revealing the continued presence of joyful line and vibrant colour that has marked the last 50 years of Griffa’s paintings, and which diverges from the linear geometry of his early work. 

Gianni Politi’s latest exhibition at Galleria Lorcan O ‘Neill, “Ruins and Revelations,” takes its title from Politi’s unique exploration into the history of his artistic practice. Digging in the past ‘ruins of his work,’ Politi has discovered the revelation of a new myth contained within, precariously balanced between abstraction and figuration, which he here presents through his most recent paintings, sculptures, and works on paper. Through a process of reflection that recalls his earliest inspirations, Politi demonstrates the true maturation of the artist and the often-burdensome discoveries of creative contemplation.
