Alessandro Busci — The Enchanted City: exhibition in Milan

Alessandro Busci — The Enchanted City

Dates: 28/04/2026 – 28/05/2026 · Opening: Tuesday 28 April 2026, 6:00 PM

Venue: Antonia Jannone Disegni di Architettura, Corso Garibaldi 125, Milan

Overview

"The Enchanted City" brings together works in which urban structures become pictorial matter: stadiums, towers and industrial silhouettes appear on richly layered backgrounds created with enamel, inks and oxidized surfaces. Working on oxidized paper and corten steel, Busci merges architectural precision with painterly processes that generate visible chemical reactions and textured stratifications.

Themes and approach

• Exploration of painting in relation to architecture and the urban environment.
• Recurring motifs include monumental urban elements reinterpreted as contemporary symbols.
• Matter as language: oxidation, drips and chemical interactions shape the visual outcome.
• Balance between drawn structure and gestural materiality.

Why go

The exhibition proposes a sensory mapping of the city: Busci’s works transfigure familiar places into emotional apparitions that speak of memory, energy and the imagination of the urban landscape. It is particularly relevant for those interested in the dialogue between architecture and contemporary painting.
