Leonardo Pellicanò's Art Style

Leonardo Pellicanò delves primarily into painting, using the medium to navigate intricate realms of thought and emotion. Within Pellicanò's artistry, the memory of a cultivated gaze intertwines with the vitality of his brushstrokes, resulting in a transient realm where pictorial structures unveil unexpected entities.

Employing art history as a versatile tool, his works speak in a language of apparitions, traversing from pagan imagery to the alchemical symbolism of the Middle Ages. Evoking a sense of liberation, Pellicanò's creations resonate with an intoxicating freedom, akin to physical remnants of a psychological expedition teetering on the brink of detachment from reality, drifting into a realm of vibrant hallucinations.

Leonardo Pellicanò has consistently engaged with fellow contemporary artists, curating exhibitions and performances within both institutional and independent settings. In 2021, he participated in the group exhibition "Lemaniana, Reflets et autres scènes" at the Centre d'art contemporain de Genève.
