Into The Melancholic Truth of Leonardo Christian Anker Amadeus Vandal
Leonardo Christian Anker Amadeus Vandal (nomdeplumeonline) is a danish artist living and working at the artist residency Palazzo Monti in Brescia, Italy.
Vandal is a multidisciplinary artist who works across different mediums, often integrating performance and texts into his installations. After studying tailoring and philosophy, he started using art as a therapeutic practice in order to investigate the depths of his unconscious through highly personal work.
Drawn to various and often unusual media for their symbolic potency, Vandal engages in a dialogue with the past. His work deals with notions of universal balance and contrasts. It strives to reunite the opposite forces and knock over the discomfort of uncertainty.
