Alessandro Busci works with different and heterogeneous materials: from corten steel to copper to aluminum worked with acids and glazes, to silk, paper, up to classic canvas. The artist investigates the potential of the exchange between western and eastern iconographic traditions, thanks to a strong and decisive mark, which at times rem inds us of oriental calligraphy and which often changes and transforms in contact with metallic supports.

The rust, generated by the acid on the metal, becomes pigment, and the chemical reactions between enamels and steel become the pretext for an alch emical game of transformations of colour and pictorial matter. The themes chosen for Galleria Vik Milano are those typical of his pictorial production: on the one hand, nature, so dear to the artist: birch forests and trees painted with the unmistakable co ntrasts of light, on the other, the means of the journey, the aeroplane . As a backdrop the city of Milan and its co nstantly changing architectures and above all a living sky, changeable, dramatic and romantic in its instability.
