"PERSISTENT TIME"

Exhibition: 25 April – 6 June, 2015
Opening: Saturday, 25 April, 11am – 5pm, in the presence of the artist

Giacomo Costa uses digital technology to generate a futuristic urban landscape. These fantastic, apocalyptic images borrow their aesthetic from science fiction literature and film, where architecture takes on a colossal scale. Pulverized landscapes and lonely structures that inhabit anonymous cities are constant elements in his series, a metaphor for the depersonalization that affects the contemporary metropolis whose buildings soar above the human scale.

Costa creates landscapes in an almost surreal manner. His subjects differ from large city panoramas to nebulous sea scenarios. All of his works have one thing in common: they convey the feeling of losing oneself in the details of his narration. The artist focuses on post-modern landscapes which are marked by decay and caducity. Therefore his art claims to reflect upon his emotions about the city. After moving from the mountains of Italy to Milan he was inspired to produce art connected to the concept of the larger towns. These impressions were recognized also by architects, such as Norman Foster, partly caused by elements of constructivism, which can be found in his artworks. Another important aspect connected to Giacomo Costas artworks is the constant demand to the audience to reflect about human behavior.
