Luca Grimaldi (Rome, 1985), has lived and worked in different cities throughout the United States and Europe, acquiring over time a taste for repetitive, generic things found in multiple contexts.
His work integrates traditional oil paint with other materials, sometimes venturing into hybrid situations half way between painting and sculpture, between generic and specific.
