Marco Petrus

Petrus's painted architectures are as well known today as the buildings of metropolises themselves. Milanese by adoption, the artist sought out examples of his city's rationalism and rendered them on canvas in symbolic forms. Dry, silhouetted against orange skies, his Torre Velasca, seen from all angles, has inaugurated a new cycle that is even more analytical and increasingly distant from a certain urban landscaping. Now petrus plays with architecture in a kind of citationist kaleidoscope.

He participated to the 3rd Premio Cairo, in 2002.
