Filippo A.L. Cegani

Filippo A.L.Cegani(b.1993, Italy) is based in Milan and has held exhibitions in Bologna, Isola di Capri, Manchester, London, Amsterdam, Eindhoven, New York, LA, Chicago, Seattle, Milwaukee, Palma, Ibiza, Berlin, Oslo, and Auckland. His work captures the artist's perspective on Christianity and Christian iconography in the post-digital era. Cegani believes that postdigital Christian aesthetics is formed by combining classical and digital aesthetics; in this context, he creates a unique approach. The artist finds cards of sacred icons in the church and reinterprets them by combining them in his unique post-digital painting method. Although this expression immediately presents 3D effects that can be achieved through digital programs, the fine details and decorative elements leave an impression of mannerism. His works reflect the mixture of geographical culture and the subcultures of Italy he has encountered and raise questions to the audience about the perception of Christian aesthetics in the post-digital era.
