Aronne Pleuteri

Aronne Pleuteri is one of the most promising emerging Italian artists. Born in Erba in 2001, in the Brianza region, he works in a studio in Milan. From his studio in Barona, Pleuteri humorously reflects on his life while contemplating the concepts of embarrassment and absurdity that challenge social conventions.

In his compositions, the subject, often human, is consistently marginalized, a technique that serves to give viewers a sense of repositioning their own experiences in relation to the cosmos.

A recurring motif in Pleuteri's work is the foot, symbolizing a connection to the earth and movement. This connection to the ground is also evident in his performances. One of the three works in the collection, Ricordi di un giorno dopo (Memories of a Day After), features a nearly unrecognizable figure lying on a grassy field, with her feet prominently raised in the air. For Pleuteri, the essence of life is an ironic game, a lighthearted joke whose seriousness can always be downplayed or recontextualized.
