MIART 2026

Galleria Luisa Delle Piane presents, as in every past edition, the work of three authors. The common thread linking the works of Andrea Branzi, Mario Ceroli, and the Delos project by Massimiliano Locatelli and Fabio Zambernardi is the relationship between natural and artificial materials, and the unexpected visual short circuit that emerges from it.

Immersioni is a previously unseen collection of eight unique pieces created by architect Andrea Branzi in 2023. Natural elements on which the artist has intervened using color and gold leaf are placed in dialogue with the plexiglass in which they are immersed. This collection once again highlights the artist’s ongoing exploration of coexistence and contrast between the natural and the artificial, a defining feature of his work and research. Seven of the pieces will be exhibited; the eighth is currently on display at the Triennale di Milano as part of the monographic exhibition dedicated to Andrea Branzi, titled Continuous Present by Toyo Ito, inaugurated on March 18.

Mario Ceroli’s work is represented by several iconic pieces from his artistic trajectory between the 1960s and 1970s, moving backwards in time from the Annabella cradle designed for Poltronova in 1973, through the felt profiles titled i centocolori (1972), presented at Galleria Il Segnapassi in Pesaro, to the sculptural horse from 1967 created for the stage design of Richard III by William Shakespeare.

Delos moves from the painted terracotta of ancient Greece to a contemporary version of embroidered painting on wood. Flower vases with archetypal forms, conceived by Massimiliano Locatelli and Fabio Zambernardi, are made of wood and decorated with an innovative embroidery technique that creates an unexpected new and contemporary visual language. This collection is part of the broader project Nullus Locus, consisting of furnishing elements that will be exhibited starting April 18 at Galleria Luisa Delle Piane, in conjunction with Design Week 2026.
