Jimmy Milani
Born in Italy in 1995.
Lives and works between San Miniato and Milan.
Jimmy Milani’s work is characterized by an interest in the medium of painting. Iconic subjects, narration, and the materiality of the support interact with each other, developing on both the two-dimensional surface of the canvas and the three-dimensionality of the artwork.
Representation takes a back seat in the face of the awareness of living through an interaction with the viewer, highlighting a particular focus on the installation and structural aspects of the work.
The artist engages in a deep dialogue with the history of art while moving away from any nostalgic sentiment. The inclination to always seek new solutions leads the research into a collision with the intricacies and challenges of design. In the artwork, rationality and emotion clash, giving rise to a constant oscillation between an objective design hypothesis and an intuitive feeling.
Milani’s intention is to move away from the mere idea of contemplation, seeking an intersection between meaning and form through an analysis of surfaces, colors, and the materiality of the support, resulting in a tempered projection of his worldview.
