Biography:

Luca Alinari was an Italian painter born in Florence in 1943. He made his debut in 1968 with his first one-man show at the Galleria Inquadrature in Florence. During the 1970s, he began an intense research on the free juxtaposition of objects and figures within a fantastical and suspended atmosphere, influenced by Neo-Dada and Pop Art research. He experimented with various pictorial techniques, combining fluorescent colours, decalcomania, collage and photographic transpositions. In the 1980s, he gained official recognition through his participation in the 40th Venice Biennale (1982) and in the 11th Rome Quadriennale (1985). In 1993, he had his first retrospective mounted at the Royal Palace of Milan Museum. Luca Alinari died in Florence on March 15, 2019 at the age of 76.
