All auctions / Contemporary Art / Santicri (1992) - Revelation from Chaos, La Dama con l'ermellino (No Reserve)
Santicri has participated in numerous art exhibitions of international repute. Among the most significant, in 2022 he exhibited his works at the prestigious Palazzo Grillo in Genoa, and in 2023 he was present at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, thus expanding his visibility in both national and international contexts. Santicri was recognized among the Best-Selling Artists of 2024 by Artmayeur, one of the most renowned platforms in the art world. In the same year, he was also listed among the top three most searched names on the Catawiki platform, another sign of the growing appreciation for his work. These recognitions highlight the extraordinary talent and the ever-growing visibility of Santicri in the contemporary art scene. Santicri Mixed media Dimensions: 20x20x2 cm The work is accompanied by a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity In Revelation from Chaos, Santicri carries forward the generative tension that animated Creation from Chaos, but pushes it beyond gesture and matter, toward the revelation of the image. The initial action — the golden eggs thrown onto the canvas — remains the foundational symbol: an impulsive, unpredictable, vital act. But here, from the explosion of chaos does not arise only the abstract form of color; the memory of art itself emerges. From the fragments, between the cracks in the paint and gold flakes, the face of an icon of art history manifests — as if the past is evoked by its collision with the present. The work thus becomes a metaphor of contemporary creation: painting not as construction, but as unveiling. From disorder emerges what already existed in potential — the archetypal image, the cultural reference, the collective unconscious of beauty. The gold fragments take on a double value: residue of the original material (the shell), but also a symbol of the sacred, of the light that passes through the disaster of form. It is as if Santicri is saying that art today can only be born by breaking itself, revealing itself through fracture. SPEDIZIONE ASSICURATA! The package is carefully packed, the serial number in the photo may not correspond to that of the shipped artwork. The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking behind icons like Kaws and Banksy. His art stands out in an exclusive context that includes other categories of excellence, such as Rolex, Lego, Louis Vuitton, Porsche, Eames, Macallan, Tintin, Cartier and Pokémon. A talent recognized not only for creative value but also as one of the most promising investments of the year. Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist followed a path that, between studies as a surveyor and architecture, led him to collaborate with an artisan of resin sculptures. There arose the growing need to find himself and unleash his creativity. His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe. His art is widely appreciated and cannot be missing among the collectors of paintings and sculptures of street art, pop art, and contemporary art. "Classifying one's art is never easy; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that suits modern times: impactful and memorable."
