Painter and musician Peter Burchia was born in Bolzano in 1994. Self-taught, Burchia began
painting in childhood, gradually approaching folk music as a soloist and as a member of various
groups, including Shanti Powa. His pictorial production is distinguished by a language of sharp
graphisms, highly personal textual and numerical acronyms, insistent deformations, vivid color
contrasts and juxtapositions of varied techniques and materials, the latter often of common
extraction, if not waste material. In dialogue with the stylistic and thematic legacy of the
expressionist constellation, the raw, aggressive and even desecrating bearing of Burchia's work
can reverberate certain Dada, Art Brut, Cobra or Fluxus experimentation, but also the biographical
and existential one of the Informel. Particularly significant trait from the point of view of Burchia's
creative process turns out to be a certain relevancy to the principle of surrealist automatism,
which is made explicit in the diaristic, serial and whirling mode with which he realizes his pictorial
cycles or engravings. Another distinctive aspect of Burchia's painting resides in a certain
assonance with the sphere of Graffiti Art, whose techniques, materials and languages he shares
not only, but also the expansion on an architectural scale of his painting, as shown in his most
recent murals, in which he has experimented with the age-old technique of “sgraffito.” A true
artistic and cultural animator of the Alto Adige province, Burchia has participated in a number of
group and solo exhibitions. Since 2024 he has been presented by Loft 11 Gallery in Munich.
