Andrea Capanna

I am a Rome based multidisciplinary visual artist.
My work results in reproducing pieces of walls where I operate using manual intervention
etching and sanding to reveal bodies and shapes or photography using an analogic technique and a subsequent manual action.

"How many suggestions can grow from images of the wall and all its derivations-separations; reclusion; wailing walls; prison walls; testimonies to the passage of time, smooth surfaces, peaceful, white, tormented surfaces, old, decrepit, signs of human prints, of objects, natural elements..."
Antoni Tapiès 1969
