A few weeks ago we admired the artistic allusions in the work of Ozmo, a street artist who seems unable to leave the past behind. Today, we bring you another detail of the work he created for the Scala Mercalli exhibit at Rome’s auditorium.
In this passage from a much larger work, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds becomes St. Lucy in the sky (of course, there are diamonds hovering in the atmosphere as well) and the saint (patroness of the blind) is represented by the very eyes that medieval accounts of her life claimed weer gouged prior to her martyrdom.
