The precious japanese papers of Lucio Passerini

28.04.2026

Thursday 21 May, at 5pm

Paolo Linetti, an expert in iconography and symbolism, will guide us on a fascinating journey through the images evoked in the works of Lucio Passerini, artist, engraver, and typographer.

At the heart of the talk will be the relationship between sign, material, and support, with particular attention to the use of Japanese papers, chosen by the artist for their tactile quality and their ability to receive the imprint of printmaking as a sensitive and living space.

In Passerini’s practice, in fact, every element—from the paper to the typographic character—emerges from a deep dialogue with the content, in which materials and forms are conceived as an integral part of the creative process.

Under the patronage of the Consulate General of Japan in Milan.
