Luca Boffi (Alberonero), 1991, works as an artist and farmer. He studies visual perception, landscape transformations, processes of transition and reciprocity between living beings, between the natural and the artificial. He interprets his surroundings in order to restore them from the posture and gesture of his own practice.
In 2013, he graduated in Interior Design at the Politecnico di Milano. He embarked on an artistic journey in which the community and social dimensions are central, creating works mainly in public space.
He is the winner of the Italian Council (11th edition) with the publishing project "Caro Campo. Diario di lavoro"; which stems from the human, artistic and environmental experience lived by the artist from December 2019 to April 2021 in Campogalliano (MO) in symbiosis with a field of two hundred and ninety poplars until they were cut down.
Luca Boffi has exhibited and collaborated with realities and institutions including: Santa Paula Art Museum (Santa Paula, CA, USA), Domaine de Boisbuchet (Lessac, FR), La Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Modena e Contemporanea (Rome, IT), La Triennale di Milano (Milan, IT). He has worked in several European capitals and in Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Estonia, Indonesia, Lebanon, Mexico, USA and other countries around the world.
Luca Boffi (Alberonero), 1991, lavora come artista e contadino. Studia la percezione visiva, le trasformazioni del paesaggio, i processi di transizione e reciprocità tra gli esseri viventi, tra il naturale e l’artificiale. Interpreta il circostante per restituirlo a partire dalla postura e dal gesto della propria pratica.
Nel 2013 si laurea in Design di Interni al Politecnico di Milano. Intraprende un percorso artistico nel quale risultano centrali la dimensione comunitaria e sociale, realizzando opere prevalentemente nello spazio pubblico.
È vincitore dell’Italian Council (XI edizione) con il progetto editoriale “Caro Campo. Diario di lavoro”; che nasce dall'esperienza umana, artistica e ambientale vissuta dall'artista da dicembre 2019 ad aprile 2021 a Campogalliano (MO) in simbiosi con un campo di duecentonovanta pioppi sino al loro taglio.
