Lanfranco Aceti

Lanfranco Aceti is an internationally acclaimed artist, curator, and scholar whose work navigates the tensions between contemporary society, identity, and digital culture. His art—featured at the Venice Architecture Biennale, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and Thessaloniki Biennale—transforms complex sociopolitical themes into visually striking, thought-provoking pieces. Known for his unique blend of photography, sculpture, and conceptual art, Aceti’s work challenges conventions while offering collectors timeless conversation pieces that merge historical reflection with modern narratives. His limited-edition pieces are highly sought after by collectors, curators, and institutions alike.

Born in 1967 in Cassino, Italy, a town that was completely destroyed during World War II in 1944 and subsequently rebuilt without its original architectural heritage, Aceti grew up amidst a landscape devoid of historical structures.

Lanfranco Aceti studied at Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design, where he specialized with a Ph.D. in Fine Art practice and theory. He currently works and lives between Rome, New York, and London.

I am currently developing a new series of sculptural artworks for a public commission in the United States and preparing for a highly anticipated solo exhibition in London. My 2023 solo exhibition, Whispers of Amnesia, curated by Artemis Potamianou, received widespread critical acclaim in Italy, further cementing my presence in the international art scene.

My artistic journey has led to participation in prestigious global events, including the Venice Biennale and the Venice Architecture Biennale. As a Fellow at Harvard University and a Research Affiliate at MIT, I have had the privilege of exploring diverse intellectual realms that continually inform and elevate my creative pursuits.

The reach of my work extends beyond exhibitions, finding a permanent home in museum and private collections worldwide. Notable institutions include:

The National Collection in Rome
The Center for Contemporary Art in Puglia
The National Collection of Contemporary Art in Cyprus
Additionally, my work is showcased in renowned galleries in Athens, and private collectors across the United States and Europe continue to embrace my artistic vision.
