The series starts by fragmenting an idea or image within a grid, simplifying and minimizing the subject as if they were individual pixels. A piece of cardboard about 70x50cm in size is painted and then later cut into small cards, usually 5x5cm. The cards are then glued to the canvas with PVA glue or double-sided tape only on one side of the card as if they were Post-Its. Just as Post-Its are used to leave a message, also the cards transfer an idea with no text but instead with color and shape. This is the story of Pinocchio. The final story of the Fairy Tales leaves a message in a similar way that Post-it does. Inspired by one of the most famous fairy tales, I created artwork by capturing precise moments of the story and immortalizing characters using colors as a key to interpretation.

Italy
Marco Acri (Naples, 1986) lives and works between Naples and Milan, Italy. After his studies in Furniture Design at Politecnico of Milano and in Architecture at Federico II University in Naples, Acri spent two years in Vienna working with BEHF Architects. In 2016, together with three colleagues and friends, he founded FADD Architects, an architecture studio based in Naples. Acri started painting at the age of 16 as a self-taught artist. Even though he didn’t pursue an education in arts, his professional background allowed him to develop his own artistic vision and research. His practical knowledge of color and form, shape and light, especially when placed in a context, allowed him to channel his multifaceted exploration of lived experience, memory, and perception through hyper-precise aesthetics. The reassuring modular repetition, the pattern grid, is a means through which Acri is able to explore different depths of meaning while offering the same option to the observer. Acri’s paintings are not just exquisite and pleasant to look at; there’s more to that for those who venture beyond the surface. They are a lightweight, gentle, and un-threatening political declaration that invites us to grasp nature's beauty, challenge dominant narratives in fairy tales, and capture small things or thoughts that make the ordinary extraordinary.
