This catalogue accompanied Under a Dome, a joint exhibition of works by Lorenzo Brinati and Leonardo Anker Vandal in 2021. Both artists express a desire to bring an internal world into reality, emphasising the materiality of the artwork and the process of creation. Brinati’s practice rejuvenates the craftsmanship of Renaissance Florence which he fuses with a conceptual interest in the primordiality of emotion, while Vandal’s artistic process is emotionally cathartic and he often opts for unusual materials for their symbolic potency. The catalogue also features an introduction written by the exhibition’s curator Martino di Napoli Rampolla, founder of the artist residency Numeroventi in Florence, as well as studio shots that embody each artist’s practice and aesthetic.
