Luca Longhi Italian, b. 1993

Luca Longhi (b. 1993) is a London-based Italian artist whose work explores memory, architecture, and the passage of time through painting. With a BFA from the University of the Arts, London and a MA Painting from the Royal College of Art, Longhi’s practice layers influences from landscapes, childhood interiors, and overlooked spaces like cafes and snack bars. Inspired by Nouveau Réalisme and Arte Povera, Longhi employs unconventional materials like tiles and wood with oil paint and thus challenges traditional techniques and approaches.
