Santicri - Spinario fail

Santicri - Spinario fail

Santicri has participated in numerous internationally prominent 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 Artmayeur's Best-Selling Artists of 2024, 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, a further sign of the growing appreciation for his work. These recognitions highlight the extraordinary talent and the increasing visibility of Santicri in the contemporary art scene. Santicri-artist Technique: RESIN and marble powder Dimensions: H17 x L10 x W10 cm Condition: new Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed Edition: limited edition 100 copies The sculpture is a provocative artistic expression. This work seems to challenge conventional and traditional expectations of art, mixing ancient and modern elements in a surprising context. The choice to depict Spinario, a subject typical of classical art, in such an unusual and contemporary context suggests a reflection on our current culture and our relationship with the past. The use of Nike and the scene of removing feces can be interpreted as a pointed critique of consumerism and the obsession with luxury in the modern world. The work seems intended to provoke a reaction in the audience, raising questions about its symbolism and deeper meaning. Ultimately, this contemporary sculpture appears to be a bold commentary on contemporary society, its obsession with consumption, and its relationship with history and tradition. Limited edition of 100 pieces. Hand-signed by the artist with a certificate of authenticity The edition number shipped may not correspond to the one in the photo. The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately 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 pursued a path that, between studies in surveying and architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture craftsman. There, the growing need to find himself and unleash his creativity emerged. 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's never easy to classify one's art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of looking at what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
