All auctions / Contemporary Art / Santicri - Revelation from Chaos, La Dama con l'ermellino (No Reserve)
Santicri has participated in numerous art exhibitions of international standing. 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 platform Catawiki, another sign of the growing appreciation for his work. These accolades highlight the extraordinary talent and the ever-increasing visibility of Santicri in the contemporary artistic landscape. Santicri Mixed media Dimensions: 20x20x2 cm The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by hand In Revelation from Chaos, Santicri continues 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 founding symbol: an impulsive, unpredictable, vital act. But here, from the explosion of chaos, it no longer gives rise only to the abstract form of color; the memory of art itself emerges. From the fragments, between painterly cracks and gold flakes, the face of an icon from the history of art is manifested — as if the past is evoked by the 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 potential — the archetypal image, the cultural reference, the collective unconscious of beauty. The gold fragments take on a double value: a residue of the original matter (the shell), but also a symbol of the sacred, 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. SHIPPING INSURED! 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 after 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 in Geometer and Architecture, led him to collaborate with an artisan sculptor in resin. There arose the increasingly strong 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 one's art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I reinterpret it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
