We are pleased to present new works by Michele Lamassa in our Pop Up Summer Gallery in Locarno, Via Serafino Balestra 1a. 

Michele Lamassa dedicates himself to a technique that is atypical within contemporary art: the fresco painting. The themes and motifs chosen by Lamassa show him to be a persistent observer of our time and recent history. His frescoes have a temporary character; using the strappo method – a method of restoration to remove wall paintings and prevent them from decay – the artist transfers his large-format frescoes to jute, whereby they develop their unique effect outside the original architectural context. 

!!! IN OUR POP UP GALLERY IN LOCARNO !!!
APÉRO: 14 August, from 5pm to 7.30pm, with the presence of the artist
DURATION: from 14 August until 10 October 

The Galleria SACCHETTI is delighted to be the first to show works by the Cologne artist Peer Boehm in Switzerland. His paintings and drawings revolve around the subject of the fragmentary perception of reality or the memory of what has been seen and experienced. The artist uses photographic templates taken from the Internet or albums bought at flea markets. Boehm reduces the photographs on the computer to the extent that the motif is formed by light-dark contrasts. He translates this change, using acrylic, watercolor, pen or ink, but also coffee or rust, onto canvas and paper, whereby original maps and nautical charts or accounting documents serve as image carriers.
