Lucca R. Colombelli
In 2020, Lucca founded Povos, a contemporary art gallery in West Town in Chicago. Read about the gallery's 2023 launch on Block Club Chicago.
Since it's conception, the gallery has sold over a quarter million in local, emerging art, produced 20+ major exhibitions, and organized 10+ Fundraisers for local social action organizations.
Lucca Colombelli is a Brasilian-American artist currently living and working in Chicago.
Beginning with an interest in realism before becoming more heavily influenced by abstract expressionism and post-modern artists; he now seeks a balance. His current work reflects a symbiosis between form and abstract, focusing on direct experiences of nature.
Commissions are available, contact to join waitlist.
Beyond painting-- He runs a Gallery, contributes to local arts organization Gertie.Co, organizes art programming for Cinecity Studios, and has recently joined the associate board of The Simple Good.
