Filippo Minelli, Beetles + Huxley
Rising photography star Filippo Minelli's puffs of smoke billow through Beetles+Huxley exhibition this summer
Stellar photography gallery Beetles + Huxley present a rising star in Italian art, Filippo Minelli, this summer. The show is haunted by eerie puffs of smoke moving through serene landscapes which make up Minelli's fascinating Silence/Shapes series. Using smoke bombs, Minelli creates billowing clouds through curious landscapes which could be tools of chaotic protest or the idyllic sublime.
Filippo Minelli biography
Minelli himself is greatly influenced by political activism and naturally moved from graffiti and street art to the camera in thinking about this idea of the transient smoke bomb and how to make protests last rather than dissolve into the atmosphere. We first discovered Minelli earlier in the year at Somerset House's street art exhibition, Mapping the City, alongside star graffiti artist Shepard Fairey.
