WE, HUMANIMALS
Amazing Contemporary Bestiary - 25/03/25 - 04/10/25
The exhibition ‘WE, HUMANIMALS, amazing contemporary bestiary’ is a symbolic and celebratory vision of the animal world, represented by a kaleidoscopic selection of works. WE, HUMANIMALS takes its cue from the title of a work of the same name by Sandro Gorra, a great Milanese artist and advertiser who, through his iconic caricatured illustrations exhibited in the hotel lobby, was able to use animal representation to express human characteristics and conflicts with ingenious irony.

Alice e l'Acqua
Sandro Gorra (Milan 1944) is a multifaceted artist, considered among the best-known Italian creatives in the world of advertising. He has signed famous advertising campaigns in Italy and abroad for Fiat, Chanel, Pepsi, Panasonic, Telecom, Peugeot, Macallan, Monini, Kimbo. Over the years he consolidated ‘Daily Art’, the art of the moment, neo-realist expressionist form that fixes the moment with pictorial and sculptural representations and sculptures depicting social ascents, anxieties of successes, fears of falls. ‘My art is a palindrome story, where the work is composed of the visual and the commentary that concludes it.’
