All auctions / Contemporary Art / Santicri - Revelation from Chaos, L'Ultima Cena (No Reserve)
Santicri has participated in numerous internationally renowned art exhibitions. Among the most significant, in 2022 he exhibited his works at the prestigious Palazzo Grillo in Genoa, and in 2023 he attended the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, thereby 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 Santicri’s extraordinary talent and his increasing visibility 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 gold eggs thrown onto the canvas — remains the founding symbol: an impulsive, unpredictable, vital act. But here, from the explosion of chaos, the form of color is no longer the only emergence; the memory of art itself arises. From the fragments, through the cracks in the paint and the gold flakes, the face of an icon from the history of art manifests — as if the past is evoked by its collision with the present. The work thus becomes a metaphor for contemporary creation: painting not as construction but as unveiling. From disorder emerges what already existed in potentia — the archetypal image, the cultural reference, the collective subconscious 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 pierces 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. SHIPPING INSURED! The package is carefully packed, Oil on canvas, 350 g/m², mounted on a spruce wooden frame. The work will be shipped with a random edition number. Frame not included. The artist emerged in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking after icons such as 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 in surveying and architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There arose an ever-stronger 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 collectors of street art, pop art, and contemporary art paintings and sculptures. "It is never easy to classify my art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of viewing what surrounds me, and I reshape it with a design that harmonizes with modern times: impactful and memorable."
