"Arid Rain" provides an overview of the art and poetry of Stefano Losi, introduced by a foreword by art critic and historian Renato Miracco. The author's art project, developed between Milan, London, and New York since the early 1990's, uniquely combines on linen dramatic studies of the human figure and an epigrammatic poetry. The author's classical training and Mediterranean culture continue to emerge as a reference in his visual works, yet with a clear contemporary sensitivity. Writer Marco Mathieu captured its essence as "Timeless. On the contrary, inside time. And beyond... Significant. Blunt. Stirring, most of all... Intensity, liberty. And love." The poetry, regenerating the classical neoteric Latin school, intends indeed to foreground different interpretative perspectives as an attempt to frame the terms of contemporary social debate, facing crucial themes as liberty and love, essential constitutive personal element, but formidable tension in a political dimension.
