From 7 to 27 March 2018 at the Cultural Association Galfer20 it will be possible to visit the monographic exhibition "Angelo Lussiana. The other side of the cardboard ".
Fascinated by the inherent potential of cardboard, Angelo Lussiana is able to transform this material, poor in origin, into contemporary design objects, refined and functional.
Practicality and elegance: these are the two principles to which the artist remains faithful during the design and construction phases. In fact, each object must necessarily maintain its characteristics when used. Bags and accessories must therefore continue to be comfortable and soft; the furnishings are necessarily robust. To do this the practice followed by the artist is to dissect the cardboard in an infinity of strips and sections with a thickness of about 7 mm that, rotating them by 90 °, are brought together to each other slowly going to compose the physiognomy of the object.
The one that Angelo Lussiana exploits is the other side of the cardboard, the one that shows the otherwise hidden waves: unexpectedly decorative, velvety and resistant to shocks.
It is a long and meticulous processing process that makes each object a unique example.

The board, by a three-year period or so, has burst into my creative activity: it is imposed because of its versatility, the easy availability as material reuse, for its hidden qualities of strength, warmth and softness.
