Italian artist Luca Siliquini presents his first exhibition in Australia at Humble House Gallery, from 18 March to 16 April.

Ever wondered what Canberra looks like through someone else’s eyes? Moving to Canberra from Rome in 2016, Siliquini has created works sharing his perspective of his new hometown in Chromology.

Through the use of bold colours and symbolism, the artist’s abstract pieces tell the story of Canberra, its changing seasons, and the hues that envelop the region.

The coronavirus pandemic played an important role in these works. For a few years, Siliquini felt the world was stuck, then, when restrictions started to ease, he sensed that colour started to return to life, an experience he has captured in these pieces.
