Lorenzo Marini is an Italian artist who lives and works between Milan, Los Angeles and New York.
Marini attended the Accademia di Belle Arte in Venice with Emilio Vedova, but graduated in architecture and worked successfully in the advertising world for thirty years. In his career as an art director he has been awarded over 500 national and international awards. A multidisciplinary artist, he has dedicated himself over the years to numerous activities: from cartooning to directing and writing with the publication of some essays and two novels.
In 2016 Marini has an artistic intuition that leads him to celebrate the beauty of letters.
In 2017, on the strength of this success, he created the “Manifesto for the liberation of letters” becoming, in fact, the founder of a new art form: that of dedicating a work to every single letter of the alphabet, thus freeing the letters from the obligation of the function, to celebrate its pure intrinsic beauty.
Marini’s pictorial works can be read as the translation into contemporary art of advertising campaigns, with a rigorous logic of spaces and balances, in his first research on Visuals. As they can be read as a revolutionary thought on the pop beauty of the contemporary alphabet, in this second artistic phase.
In 2021 his exhibition “Di Segni e di Sogni” in Siena wins the AVI award for the most visited contemporary art exhibition of the year with over 45,000 visitors.
