Luca Ledda: The taste of today
Turin-based illustrator and muralist Luca Ledda reveals the bitter taste of today’s consumerist society, where overweight human characters resemble animals – mainly pigs, thus switching roles and becoming the meat they eat. Naked outside and emptied of any human feeling or experience inside, these characters express the agony of nothingness, of direct confrontation with their dark selves, where good no longer has opportunities to grow.
Regarding technique, Luca mostly plays with acrylic on canvas and wall, but also experiments with wood and plexiglass. From a chromatic perspective, red and white, as well as dark colors are a constant in his works.
