NICOLO GENTILE, PUT TO WREST, 2023
Expanded metal sheet, offset magazine print on coated paper, fencing staple
“Nicolo Gentile’s installations reference motifs of the queer experience including kink and competitive/obsessive physique-building, as seen in material choices ranging from leather and latex to iron and steel. His imagery signals an early-AIDS epidemic hesitation towards gay pragmatism, assimilation, and profuse alienation.” - Lvl3
