Francesco Pegurri is an Italian artist, he was born in
1997 in Lovere, a village in Bergamo province. Passionate about drawing,
graduated in Art from High School “Decio Celeri” in Lovere, this is
where his interest in calligraphy and visual arts was born.Approaching
the Tattoo world, he began a period of research and study of the
subject of calligraphy and lettering, specifically on the structure of
characters and various forms.The most significant
moment in his journey is the transition from skin to canvas. Through
painting, Francesco develops his skills which contributed to the
formation of his own artistic style. To date, his works on canvas
explore reality by transforming the calligraphic gesture into
architectural settings and natural scenery, combining skill, discipline
and imagination.
In his
artistic expression he has a "conflicting" relationship with colors but,
in his current works, together with geometric shapes, lights and
shadows, they become protagonists consolidating the stylistic feature.
His
personal style refers to natural landscapes and settings of scenic
stillness. The calligraphic patterns change direction, thickness and
depth according to the subjects he depicts, creating volumes,
contrasting shapes, shadows and lights games giving them a contemporary
and avant-garde slant.His commitment to the study
of calligraphy led him to collaborate with Keaps, one of the best-known
calligraphic artists on the world stage. He still collaborates with
various artists by participating in group exhibitions.
