Francesco
Petruccelli, Italian sculptor and
painter, has been working as cameraman for several years and
graduated in Humanities in Milan before to move in 2011 to Berlin and
devote himself to art. Since then he has
been featuring his works in numerous exhibitions, in Germany and
abroad.
In
2017 he was artist-in-residence of the Goethe Institut in Bangalore,
India. During this experience, the artist began to focus his artistic
practice on climate change and to develop an artistic technique based
on the recycling of plastic bags.
In
2018 he graduated as Meisterschüler in the class of Karsten
Konrad at the Universität der Künste Berlin and he won the Helmut
Thoma Stiftung Prize for sculpture.
In
2019 he exhibited his works in the Arsenale (Venice, Italy) as
finalist for the Laguna Art Prize and
he co-founded the Intermission
Collective,
organisation
dedicated to implement the
autonomy of artists from market-driven mediation. In
the same year, during the "Project Diffusion" artistic
residency in Donbas,
his works were
exhibited at the Kramatorsk
Art Museum.
In
2020 he co-founded Inkubator 2020, an artistic residency program
aimed at establishing workshop dynamics between artists of different
disciplines on post-human themes.
He
was recently finalist for the RoPlastic Prize at the Rossana Orlandi
Gallery in Milan with a work focused on the theme of climate change
and sustainable art.
