Ange Leccia
Cars, Marble and Cinder Block
Galleria Six, Milan & Venice
March 26 - June 25, 2022
Galleria Six presents ANGE LECCIA's solo exhibition, Cars, Marble and Cinder Block. This is his second show at the gallery after Ange Leccia: Girls, Ghosts and war (2018-2019).
The exhibition focuses on both sculptural and installation works. The pieces are concerned with the constant relationship between light and image: an image that disorients our gaze, our thinking and leads us to question the subtle relationship between man, technology and identity.
In this exhibition the photographic works, Arrangement, are related both formally and conceptually to the sculptures on display.
In fact the construction of an enigmatic space placed between the proximity of two or more objects, seems to constitute 'the original gesture' upon which the artist leads us to reflect.
For the occasion a work by Ange Leccia is exhibited in the new space in Venice at Calle de la Vida San Marco 2530.
For the Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris, Ange Leccia has created a video installation, (D') Aprés Monet, which proposes to feel and read the polysemy of Monets Water Lillies from the story of the genesis of this masterpiece.
