Andrea Martinucci

Andrea Martinucci (Rome, 1991) is a visual artist who lives and works between Milan and Rome. He works across painting, writing and moving images. His artistic process takes place through assemblages and overlaps across diversified contents. By composing images through modification, fragmentation and hybridisation, the artist elaborates metaphorical nonlinear narratives. His works employ humor, absurdity and poetry to explore themes such as memory loss (whether real or surrogate), experiences and sublimation processes, in order to hypothesize other consciences. His observation of reality translates into the rethinking of everyday objects emptied of their daily value, as ruins expelled from a society speeding towards its own collapse. He then processes these unconscious contents that are able to welcome the mysterious reminiscences to Unknown Universes, ultimately letting viewers decipher the resulting multitude of symbols for themselves.

His work has been exhibited in institutional and experimental spaces such as Institut Français – Palazzo delle Stelline (Milan IT, 2016); IIC Los Angeles (Los Angeles USA, 2022); Mattatoio (Rome IT, 2016); Palazzo Reale (Milan IT, 2019); Tang Contemporary Art (Hong Kong CN, 2020); FuturDome (Milan IT, 2017); Palazzo delle Esposizioni (Rome IT, 2012); IUNO (Rome IT, 2022); VUNU Gallery (Kosice SK, 2020); ZETA Contemporary Art Center (Tirana AL, 2021); Museum of Contemporary Art of Villa Croce (Genoa IT, 2012); Museum of Art and Archaeology of Maremma (Grosseto IT, 2017); Fondazione Pastificio Cerere (Rome IT, 2012) and In De Ruimte Space (Gent BE, 2019).

Italian Contemporary Art Everywhere (supported by Directorate General for Contemporary Creativity by the Italian Ministry of Culture and by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs), with Turbomondi (Melodia), a video installation destined for the Public Collection of Istituto Centrale per la Grafica, Rome, IT.
