Biography

Born in Sassocorvaro (PU) in 1990, lives and works in Turin.

His work starts from the creation of a collage of images from the web, magazines and a photography archive. Having collected this material, he begins to design and compose images that create a unique environment in which realities from different “worlds” coexist in the same space, creating a new dimension.

Graduated in 2009 in Animated Drawing and Comics at the State Institute of Art of Urbino and in 2014 in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts of Urbino, he completed his studies in 2016 with a two-year specialist course in Contemporary Visual Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts of Urbino .

The Voyage Out

Group Show – The Voyage Out

Milan, October 2024 – A.MORE gallery presents from 9 October to 9 November 2024, the group exhibition “The Voyage Out” with works by Marco Bacoli, Margaux Bricler, Alessandra Cecchini and Vittorio Valiante, curated by Domenico de Chirico.

Born with the aim first of exploring the human mind and then outlining research on the experience of subjectivity, the collective exhibition in question borrows its title from Virginia Woolf’s first novel – “The Cruise”. Metaphorically speaking, a tumultuous journey on the open sea that pushes us to face complex topics such as the complexity of human psychology, the flow of consciousness, growth and the consequent discovery of ourselves and others, love, aspirations, desires, vulnerability of life and criticism of society. The exhibition pays particular attention to the current female condition, which oscillates between the essential desire for independence and the more current misoneist education than ever.

The works of the four artists dialogue with each other, revealing a mix of internal conflicts whose emotional and mental states seem to be particularly sensitive.

“The concept of elsewhere, both refuge and trap, is inextricably linked both to the inevitable subjective experience and to the necessary psychological reconnaissance – states the curator Domenico de Chirico -. And so it is that among stiffened fragments of human bodies, relics of centaurs, nudity, unusual transparencies, routine psychoses, graceful suspensions and fleeting or even erased faces, the heterogeneous collective exhibition “The Voyage Out” is born and shaped, at the hands of Marco Bacoli, Margaux Bricler, Alessandra Cecchini and Vittorio Valiante”.
