massimo iosa ghini – paintings

04 June – 05 july 2026

This online viewing room presents a group of paintings by Massimo Iosa Ghini created in 1991, including works from the Città Fluida series. Internationally recognized as an architect, designer, and artist, Iosa Ghini emerged from the influential Italian design movements of the late twentieth century, collaborating with Studio Alchimia and the Memphis Group before developing his own distinctive visual language through the Bolidismo movement.

In these paintings, the city is imagined not as a static architectural structure but as a fluid, evolving landscape. Sweeping lines, vibrant colors, and futuristic silhouettes evoke a metropolis shaped by speed, communication, and constant transformation. The works reflect themes that run throughout Iosa Ghini’s wider practice, where architecture, industrial design, and artistic expression merge into a singular vision of contemporary life.

Created at a pivotal moment in the artist’s career, the Città Fluida paintings offer a rare insight into the conceptual foundations of his design philosophy. They capture an optimistic vision of the future—one in which technology and human experience are intertwined within energetic, ever-changing urban environments.
