Angelo Accardi

Angelo Accardi’s art describes, explores and draws inspiration from the styles and influences of modern life. Urban landscapes and interiors of homes and museums are “captured” by the artist as if through the lens of a hidden camera, then filtered through his distinctive painterly interpretations to become expressions of a fascinating and complex personality. In his canvases, symbolism becomes the key to interpreting a hidden reality. Thanks to his remarkable communicative and emotional power, Angelo Accardi has gained international recognition and is now considered one of the most compelling artistic voices on the European contemporary art scene.

Since 2015, the Misplaced collection has evolved through a new concept conceived by this visionary artist: presence takes on form and volume, becoming sculpture. Gradually developing into installation, the sculpture retains the creative intelligence of the “Misplaced” concept.

The ostrich, the rhinoceros and everything the artist chooses to place before us strike us into silence: a silence that observes, questions, critiques and engages. Accardi creates figures and compositions using glossy lacquered metal, chrome-finished metal and PVC. He studies and invents complex situations that resist immediate interpretation, inevitably drawing the viewer into the Misplaced world.

Curiosity, irony, elegance and the subtle anxieties of everyday life are all elements that shape the atmospheres deliberately conveyed by the artist. Accardi’s sculptures become a natural parallel continuation of the path established through his paintings, taking his artistic vision to an even higher level.
