Luciani’s output consists of two-dimensional tapestries, as well as three-dimensional sculptural forms that are meant to explore the possibilities and potential of printed media as a plastic medium. He achieves a variety of visual effects by treating magazines, books, and telephone directories in unconventional ways: in his ‘‘Models’’ series for example, he creates collages by systematically folding fashion, design, music and architecture magazines in such a way, that only the margins or part of the content are visible. Although meant to be seen as paintings, these sleek ‘‘fold collages’’ still expose their origin, since the artist keeps the magazines’ spines visible and intact. All in all, what we get from Gemis Luciani ’s work is a reassuring aesthetic clarity, supported by a carefully thought out and conceptually sound creative process.
