A3 — Andrea Martinucci About

< >Andrea MartinucciSelected WorkAndrea Martinucci’s work develops as a transversal journey, an expanded approach integrating diverse media and languages such as painting, video, photography and the digital. Combining his background as multimedia designer with his affective and formative relation to painting, he currently explores the intersection between digital imagery and the aesthetical and normative apparatus defining the history of painting.Driven by a desire to test the possibilities of painting in the contemporary context, his work questions the relevance of such heavily connoted medium in relation to those practices and circuits that are re-defining our visual culture. As such Martinucci negotiates the ability of painting to reflect the current mode of image consumption and distribution. Not only he questions the role of the canvas as a space of representation of contemporary experience, most importantly he aims at integrating the temporality and praxis of the digital realm in the painting process. His practice looks at the language of social networks and their affiliated subcultures, shifting the conventions of painting towards such aesthetical paradigm.www.andreamartinucci.commade with Lay Theme
