Opening May 8 from 6 p.m. until May 18 Love Letters to MilanRuss Pope, Type 7 and Antonio Colombo Gallery around Milan. Russ Pope with Andrea Salvino Anthony Ausgang Fred Stonehouse Marco Cingolani Massimo Giacon Matteo Guarnaccia Salvo A love letter to Milan through the eyes of Russ Pope (b. 1970 in the U.S.), whose illustrative technique shows in a new light the ferment, dynamism and elegance of Milan, a city close to his heart. In partnership with Type 7 and ERG Media, Pope created a panoramic composition of the city, spanning its most iconic haunts and characters, infused with his trademark wit and impressionistic linework inspired by his childhood immersion in skateboarding and counterculture. The work was first featured as a unique touch in the Type 7 Guide to Milan, published in 2024 by ERG Media , and now presented in association with Type 7 and Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea. The exhibition encompasses a supergraphic of the work Milano, Salone 2024 by Pope, as well as a rare insight into Pope’s artistic process, including the original drafts of composition. The exhibition then continues downstairs where the various facets of the city will be the focus of the works of the following artists-Andrea Salvino Anthony Ausgang Fred Stonehouse Marco Cingolani Massimo Giacon Matteo Guarnaccia Russ Pope Salvo Each of these artists represents, through their own unique point of view, the radical socio-cultural transformations and transgressive experimentation that have been the basis of Milan’s rebirth and revolutionary art in the 20th and 21st centuries. A limited edition silkscreen print of the work Milano, Salone 2024 by Russ Pope will be available for the occasion.
