Lorenzo Marini

Overview
Lorenzo Marini
Lorenzo Marini is an Italian artist who lives and works between Milan, Los Angeles and New York. He developed his poetics under the great master Emilio Vedova, after having studied Architecture at the University of Venice. The concept of space and the search for the ideal visual become the paradigm of his painting. His first public appearances as an artist took place in Miami then in New York. Immediately afterwards, in the autumn of 2014, the Province of Milan dedicated a large one to him anthology, in which he presented twenty years of work. After personal at the Spazio Oberdan in Milan, and museums in Padua and Florence, to which must be added presences at Art Basel Miami, in October 2016 he inaugurated, at the Palazzo della Permanente in Milan, the "Type Art", a movement of which he is head of the school. This new current, in which he rediscovers color, can be defined as the exaltation of the study of the alphabet and in particular the fonts of the graphic characters. At the Venice Biennale, where he exhibited at the Armenian Pavilion, he presented a further evolution of TypeArt which becomes sculpture. In 2017 he created the Manifesto for the Liberation of Letters, presenting it in Paris at the Sifrein Galerie. And in the same year he was invited to the Biennale in China International in Hohhot. In 2018 he won the Mobius Award Los Angeles for Typevisual. In 2021 he exhibited 5 installations and 30 works at the Santa Maria della Scala Museum complex in Siena and won the AVI award for the most visited contemporary art exhibition of the year. In 2023 he exhibited in Palm Beach and Los Angeles and his Raintype was described by the American media as the most loved among the installations. In 2024 he was invited to Seoul by Art Continue Gallery and is the only Italian to exhibit at the World Art Fair 2024.
