In this new body of work” Theatre of Found Objects”, Leonardo Magnani who studied at the Academy of fine art in Florence displays an eclectic mix of traditional and mechanical craft as well as manually re-created forms from nature in association to multi-sourced information, inviting the viewer to approach his vision from different perspectives. It is divided into three main sections. A series of beautiful uncanny drawings on 30x40 cm card, a box of silkscreen prints derived from the drawings and a roll of hand printed wall paper with simple motives sampled from the same collection. Fine and decorative art are connected through distinct modes of production. This show reveals the personal story between objects found in the street and Leonardo during his journey in London. A rare wonder for the eye. and a pause for thought.
