“The one that is staged in the suggestive rooms of the Palazzo del Commissioner cannot be interpreted only as an artistic exhibition: Giacomo Luxury (Malles Venosta, 1953), cultured and sensitive artist, proposes something more than a mere exhibition of his works, By inviting the user to go up to the Fortress of the Priam of Savona to embark on a path inside his imagination. "Poetics of signs" (May 2025) It is not anthological and was not born with the aim of recomposing the large, composite and heterogeneous puzzle consisting of the fifty years of luxury artistic production; It is rather an immersion in the artist's work, an accurate and thoughtful selection that develops through thematic capsules that, In the form of installations that dialogue with exhibition environments, light the light on recurrent themes and languages.
Numerous suggestions enclosed in the poetry and sensitivity of luxury work, expressed through technical virtuosity that are the result matured in years of research and experimentation with the subject. But it is by virtue of the evident and not at all trivial coherence of the artist's production that an exhibition itinerary of this type can be experienced without manifesting the disturbance of feeling on a swirling and unpredictable Russian mountain.
A first recurring element, that allows, Meaning what, to travel the halls of the Palazzo del Commissioner with a certain sense of freedom and lightness, freeing himself from the fear of taking the visit on the wrong side, it consists of color, A question around which the artist was very questioned, soon achieving results of extraordinary and enviable refinement and effectiveness and effectiveness”.

(Daniele Panucci, from the text “Journey to the center of the earth. Alchemical symbols and poetic suggestions in the recent sculptural production of Giacomo Luso”)
