Italian artist Renato Leotta (b. 1982) is drawn to nature such as the moon, the stars, the ocean, tides, and plants - elements used extensively as metaphors in Romantic poetry.

Describing himself as “an archaeologist of the Real”, Leotta aims to work around and resists the limitations of cliché.

He has had solo shows at Castello di Rivoli, Kunst Halle St. Gallen and been included in group presentations at MAXXI, Gropius Bau, Palazzo Fortuny and within the Manifesta 12 and 17th Istanbul Biennials.
