The LdM Gallery presents Body of Evidence, a student-oriented exhibition introducing figurative drawings that focus on the expression of the female form.

Presented to the public are the works of artists and current LdM students Emma Hermans, Elise Hillbrand and Lovisa Rönngren, created and developed during the LdM Advanced Drawing Course, in the short period from October to December 2018. With the use of gestural marks and abstract interpretations, the works of each artist interpret complex concepts of reflection and identity. Each artist uniquely approaches these notions, producing works that push boundaries within each composition to express the creative process through a personal and authentic style.

Curated by Martin Figura, LdM Professor of the Department of Painting, Drawing and Mixed Media, the exhibition Body of Evidence will be open from December 5th to January 30th.

After the launch, the LdM Gallery will be open weekly from Tuesday to Thursday, 5pm – 8pm. From December 17th to January 30th the LdM Gallery is open by appointment. For more information, please contact Istituto Lorenzo de’ Medici at +39 055 287360.

Opening night will include a free aperitivo.

The student-oriented show centers around a series of campaign posters exploring the multicolored world of politics, social issues, and environmental concerns. The collective work in he!p opens up a dialogue around the concept of critical messages that go beyond what meets the eye. Through unique approaches and techniques, the selected artists underline the power of words and images related to today’s society, with a common goal of creating a powerful, lasting impact.

For forty-five years, Istituto Lorenzo de’ Medici has prided itself with having core values aimed towards ensuring students achieve the skills necessary to meet the challenges of their respective fields, skills accomplished through interdisciplinary projects and engagement within the professional sector.  The LdM Gallery closely aides in working towards this goal, creating an efficient space for showcasing interdisciplinary fields of art within the school.  The overall mission of the LdM Gallery is to encourage the development of creativity and sophistication within the student body, generate an open dialogue between students and the public, and create opportunities for students to gain professional experience through their artwork.

Istituto Lorenzo de’ Medici presents the opening of the LdM Gallery with the exhibition ANIMAE, which aims to bring a new perspective to the subject of religion within photography.  The exhibition shows a series of photographs that explore personal relationships between spirituality and symbolism of modern day religion. Featured artists and former LdM students Camilla Mecagni, Susi Rossini, and Natalie Thedford Black explore the concepts of space, time, and atmosphere within each of their collective works.

The exhibition opens on October 10th, 2018 from 6 to 8 pm and will run until October 31st.
