Santicri - Compressed Icon, La Nascita di Venere

Santicri has participated in numerous art exhibitions of international repute. Among the most significant, in 2022 he exhibited his works at the prestigious Palazzo Grillo in Genoa, and in 2023 he attended the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, thus expanding his visibility in both national and international contexts. Santicri was recognized among the Best-Selling Artists of 2024 by Artmayeur, one of the most renowned platforms in the art world. In the same year, he was also listed among the top three most searched names on the platform Catawiki, another sign of the growing appreciation for his work. These accolades highlight the extraordinary talent and increasing visibility of Santicri in the contemporary art scene. Santicri Mixed media Measurements: 32x20 cm The work is accompanied by a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity Limited edition x/100 An universal image is subjected to real pressure. The surface of the canvas is no longer neutral: it is pulled, folded, restrained. The icon loses its stability and becomes matter, body, visible tension. The clamps are not just a formal element, but an action. They lock the image in an intermediate state, as if it had been stopped while trying to expand or escape. The face remains recognizable, but is compressed, forced into a new shape that alters its balance. The work plays on the contrast between classical perfection and contemporary physical intervention. What was untouchable is manipulated, restrained, almost disciplined. It is not destroyed, but transformed under pressure. From it emerges a reflection on how stable the images we know truly are: it takes only a minimal force to change our perception, to reveal that even the most solid icons can be bent, deformed, and rewritten. Oil on canvas 350 g/m², mounted on pine wooden stretcher, frame not included. The artwork will be shipped with a random numbering. SHIPPING INSURED! The package is carefully packed. The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking after icons like Kaws and Banksy. His art stands out in an exclusive context that includes other categories of excellence, such as Rolex, Lego, Louis Vuitton, Porsche, Eames, Macallan, Tintin, Cartier and Pokémon. A talent recognized not only for creative value but also as one of the most promising investments of the year. Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist followed a path that, between studies in Geometrics and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There arose the ever-stronger need to find himself and unleash his creativity. His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe. His art is widely appreciated and cannot be missing among collectors of paintings and street art and pop art sculptures of contemporary art. "Classifying my art is never easy; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that quite suits modern times: impactful and memorable."
