Work by Luca AlinariPhoto by Luca AlinariFor several years he works in the field of written and television communication and in 1979 he founds and directs the art magazine "Signorina Rosina" while he lives actively within the intellectual and artistic world. His first personal exhibition dates back to 1969 in Florence and since then Luca Alinari is considered an intellectual, very active in the Italian cultural scene, who is interested not only in figurative arts, but a character who has given his own contribution to happening events (where l 'art is not the only topic covered) and to numerous avant-garde theater pieces. His experimentations will anticipate the ideas and ideas of so much Italian painting developed at the turn of the seventies and eighties, such as the "Nuovi-Nuovi" movement and the "Transavanguardia". After experiences in graphics and in other artistic expressive forms, in the eighties he arrived at the suggestive and fantastic formulation of imaginary landscapes. Luca Alinari soon became one of the most significant authors of contemporary art, the point of connection between the post Pop Art generation of the years between the seventies and the eighties and the neo-figurative experiments of the nineties ". Exhibition of Luca AlinariPhotography by Luca AlinariIts first stylistic references are in fact related to the current "Neodada", in which he uses the most diverse techniques: drawing using fluorescent colors, decal, collage, photographic transpositions. Over the years Luca Alinari has painted on the most varied materials, ranging from fresco to plexiglass, from wood to colored fabric which, fixed on the canvas, allows the artist to obtain very personal colors. His artistic vein also ranged in Murano glass sculptures, very intense works both in shapes and colors. Now famous and known, Luca Alinari is invited to major artistic events and, in 1982 he participates in "Arti visive '82", the Venice Biennale; in 1986 he took part in the XI Rome Quadriennale. In 1990 he has the honor of painting the "Cencio" for the Palio di Siena. In 1999 the Uffizi Museum acquired a self-portrait of the artist to be included in the famous collection of self-portraits placed in Vasari's Corridor in Florence. His works, which constitute the fantastic and fascinating diary of the events of our time, are expressed through a remarkable figurative precision, linked to the observation of nature, in the evolution of the seasons, in the colors of the sky, in the colors of the leaves, in the gestures of people. Alinari's paintings can be appreciated and shared or disturb the observer, but they certainly do not leave him indifferent, they attract the eye and involve the most intimate nature of man.
