Luca Conca was born in 1974 in Gravedona (Como). He attended the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and graduated in Painting in 1998. In 2004 he held his first solo exhibition at the Galleria Antonia Jannone in Milan, with a text by Alessandro Riva in the catalogue. In 2007 his exhibition Doppio Sguardo, curated by Rino Bertini, was held in Sondrio, at the Galleria del Credito Valtellinese in Palazzo Sertoli. The theme was duality in the sense of double portrait, double point of view and repetition of the same subject. The starting point were five portraits of twins, including the painter and his twin brother. The text in the catalog was written by Marco Vappello and Armando Massarenti. In 2008 Chiara Batti of La Repubblica invited Luca to the San Fedele Arte Prize in Milan. In the same year, Credito Valtellinese commissioned him to paint two large canvases, four meters high, to be permanently displayed in their Morbegno branch. In 2010 Fernando Gianesini invited him to collaborate on an evolving project around the natural landscape of Valmalenco, in a dialogue with the photographs of Alfredo Corti. The result was the personal exhibition The White Shadow of the Mountain. Luca participated in the 58th edition of the Michetti Prize in Villafranca al Mare, curated by Maurizio Sciaccaluga. In 2011 Luca was invited to present in the regional section of the 54th edition of the Venice Biennale, held in the Lombardy pavilion at Palazzo Te in Mantua.
