"8, 2020" Photograph

b. 1990, Pistoia, Italy. Alessio Lucarini embarked on his artistic path following his graduation from the University of Bologna in 2014, where he pursued a degree in DAMS (Drama, Art and music studies). His initial exploration was rooted in photography, culminating in the series titled Colors (2020-2022). This body of work embodies a visual expression that anticipates the forthcoming evolution of his artistic practice. ​ The transition from photography to painting should not merely be perceived as a change in medium; rather, it represents a significant advancement in his approach to artistic creation. This shift invigorates his research, allowing him to expand his visual language and engage with the viewer in a more profound and personal manner. Through painting, Lucarini delves into new expressive territories, establishing a direct connection with those who observe his works. ​ Currently, his artistic inquiry culminates in the creations known as Untitled, presenting a complex and captivating journey of personal exploration. In this phase, color assumes a value that transcends mere decorative function, becoming a fundamental expressive language for the artist. The tones employed in his pieces convey deep and personal meanings, addressing issues related to identity and individual experiences. ​ Lucarini’s approach to the question of color is framed as an intimate reflection on his own experiences, inviting viewers to engage in a dialogue between the artist’s inner world and the external reality. Through this interaction, color transforms into a symbol that captures the complexity of human experience, rendering each piece not only an aesthetic manifestation but also an invitation to contemplation and emotional connection.
