Juxtapoz Magazine - Tales from the Last Days: A Solo Exhibition by Lorenzo Tonda @ Gallery Poulsen, Copenhagen
Briefly

In this series of works, I focus on the human figure and its passive interaction with the unsettling force of the wind. The elements in each painting are few but prominent: bodies, trees, clothes, clouds and hair - all of which convey the obsessive presence of a fierce wind that animates the scenes and torments the figures.
Tonda's meticulously detailed works depict events of perseverance, turmoil, upheaval, destruction and defeat, serving as a powerful reflection of contemporary humanitarian crises.
Like Signorelli, Tonda commits his attention to the bodily expressiveness of the human form. His paintings and sculptures tell a story, starting with an echoing of Signorelli's "Resurrection of the Flesh".
Both Tonda's paintings and 3D sculptural works emphasize the protective bond experienced between mother, father and child, highlighting the resilience of these relationships and importance of humanity.
