Ludovico de Luigi

Upon meeting with the gallery owner Luciano Ravagnan in 1968, De Luigi's exhibition activity increased in Venice and abroad.

There were exhibitions in Trieste, Milan, New York, Munich, Monte Carlo, Paris and, beginning in 1975, in many German cities.

Alongside works with themes of Vedutism and entomology, he depicted threats which menace Venice: flood water, pollution, technology, and consumerism.

Venice is represented in surreal visions, catastrophic, sensual or decadent, using an oil technique; the "electronic brush" of the computer is used later.

In the 1980s De Luigi produced sculptures, including enormous bronze horses inspired by the famous Triumphal Quadriga of St Mark's Basilica.
