Descrizione:
The landscape of Venice and his magic. This picture brings together memories and fleeting impressions of the city into a simultaneous experience of colours and rough marks, typical of my visual vocabulary.
The intensity of colours and the poetry of lines create a gentle synesthesia in which different layers of perception silently whisper intriguing tales of the floating City. Rising from the sea with her tiara of proud towers while ghost gondole glide over gleaming waters.
Bio:
Carmine Bellucci (b.1985) is an Italian visual artist working and living in Padua, Italy.
Graduated in Visual Arts at Istituto Europeo di Design (IED), he then attended the advanced course in Type Design at Politecnico in Milan. Deeply immersed in underground visual culture, he began his artistic career as a graffiti artist leaving his mark at street art events, both local and national.
Sketching and mastering the line has always been at the core of his artistic practice.
He conveys a vision of a poetic and spontaneous world through a unique signature technique, incorporating a variety of materials and methods such as direct printing, painting, and drawing.”
Following a constant call for the essence of things, his uniquely primitive yet elegant vocabulary is a synthesis of archaic symbolism and lyrical abstraction. A pulsing rhythm: simple and complicated at the same time.
Influences range from ancient Mediterranean civilisations and indigenous folk art to ancient graffiti and modern visual culture. His works hover in a delicate balance between reality and imagination, consistency and uncertainty, truth and mythos, spirituality and South-Italian zestiness.
