Ambrosi’s practice is deeply informed by the history of landscape painting, finding particular inspiration in the works of the grand format landscape artists of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe and the later nineteenth-century Hudson River School artists.
Stourhead Temple is part of Ambrosi’s innovative Dreamscape series, combining original photography, computer graphics and artificial intelligence. The structure at the centre of the work is the Temple of Flora, at Stourhead Park in Wiltshire, a landscape designed in the 1740s by Henry Hoare II.
Ambrosi’s works have been shown in exhibitions and art fairs across the United States and in Europe; his work has recently been acquired by the Museum of Contemporary Digital Art (MoCDA), and in 2019 he was a finalist of the Lumen Prize for Art and Technology.
