Genius Loci Painting

Elio Ticca (Italy, 1988) is an artist based in Brussels, Belgium. His main media are painting and sculpture, used to inquire the relations between historic and contemporary artistic languages, in order to give form to ironical and unpredictable visual dialogues. The outcomes seem to alter the matrix, in order to raise questions of authenticity and fictionality. His work reinterprets conceptual milestones such as autography and originality, through a sophisticated process of camouflage and creation. The final goal of his search is to question affect is transmitted through image-making and cultural memory.
