Sinfonie visive. Visual symphonies

Leopoldo Bon is back with a new series of works in which he combines his scientific formation and his artistic eye in a continuous demonstration of how matter can be seen through the lens of science, as well as through a quintessentially artistic spirit. The pictorial trait in Bon’s shots never fails to amaze the observer. He uses the camera to interpret his subjects, rather than to reproduce them, mixing in a harmonious result all the experiences that have shaped his personality: pictorial art, photography, scientific research on the connection between eye and brain and the studies on human physiology. As in his previous collections, Bon transforms matter into unexpected shapes and hypnotic colours.
