If you want to learn more about the artist's entire body of work, visit giorgiandrea.com Biography: Andrea Giorgi (1974), born in Italy, first an interior designer for 10 years and then a megayacht interior designer for 12 years, has been one of the first Italian digital artists to exhibit his works at international fairs and exhibitions since 2008. Some of his artworks decorate the luxurious rooms of prestigious yachts. One of his works was purchased by Ferrero, thereby becoming part of an important private collection of international contemporary art. Since 2016 also a digital sculptor, his sculptures are spread around the world. Andrea Giorgi was one of the first sculptors to sell on Catawiki, founder since 2016 with his boxers, the characters that burst out from magazines and from walls, his reticular sculptures, all sculptures that today various artists on Catawiki and other platforms offer in variants and revisitations. Generally opposed to much of the current pop art street art trend of too many artists who today acquire sculptures (unfortunately often Chinese) only to color them and add famous logos without at least specifying that they did not create the sculpture themselves, Giorgi designs all his sculptures entirely with 3D techniques, which he then prints in Italy using various technologies (from the simplest and most economical plastic jet to the more complex and expensive laser prints). The laser sculptures are then hand-colored by the artist. Finally, he collaborates with a renowned Italian foundry for the production of his most exclusive series, the lost-wax bronze sculptures. Unlike most contemporary artists seeking quick success who try to maximize the number of pieces to invent and sales, Giorgi's philosophy learned from years in the luxury world is "LESS IS MORE". His annual production and sales are deliberately very limited, both for producing new pieces and for weekly sales on Catawiki. Moreover, today it is almost impossible to purchase anything at auction without a reserve price. This is due both to the high production cost of most sculptures that does not allow them to be "undervalued", and to safeguarding the value of the sold sculptures. In this way the sculptures end up in the hands of collectors who rarely resell them, if ever, after several years, and only non-speculative purchases are avoided. Andrea Giorgi's sculptures are also almost impossible to find as they are currently an exclusive of Collection, a contemporary art gallery founded in 2015 by Giorgi himself, which handles works by promising young Italian and European artists as well as works by established artists including Rabarama, Walter Valentini, Piero Gilardi, Aubertin, Roberta Coni, Annalù Boeretto, Salvatore Provino, Paolo Radi, Ceribelli, Giuseppe Amadio, Riccardo Gusmaroli, Giorgio Gost, Invader, Kaws, etc. Certificate of authenticity Provenance: COLLECTION, Contemporary Loft Art Gallery, Ancona, Italy Shipping method: insured international courier WARNING: we cannot ship to Russia-Belarus and China
