All auctions / Contemporary Art / Tancredi Fornasetti - Il villaggio nel cielo


Tancredi Fornasetti exhibits in important Italian and international galleries. Acrylic on canvas 30x30 from 2026 Tancredi Fornasetti was born in Rome in 1983, where he still lives and works. He graduated in Decoration from the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome under the guidance of Professor Michele Cossyro, and from the outset he developed a strongly personal painting language that intertwines geometry, architecture, and a deep sensitivity to color. His work sits within the broad horizon of Abstract Art, yet it renews its coordinates with a contemporary and visionary approach. In his works, lines and planes multiply into perspectives and complex structures that evoke imaginary urban spaces, impossible architectures, and metaphysical geometries. The artist draws on both the rationalism of the 1930s and the lesson of De Chirico, filtering both through a sensitivity shaped by digital experience and the visual culture of our time. Fonasetti’s painting is not limited to description: it processes and transforms. References to art history—from Mondrian to Kandinsky, from Malevich to Soldati—merge with cinema, scenography, and virtual reality, giving life to a visual syntax that combines analytical rigor and emotional impulse. His “contemporary skylines,” produced strictly by freehand, are the result of a balance between order and chaos, between geometric construction and instinctive gesture. The relationship between space and color is the heart of his research: a constant dialectic between opposing forces—centripetal and centrifugal, analytical and synthetic—that generates a continuous visual vibration. His surfaces open like doors, streets, and windows toward worlds that contradict themselves yet support each other, guiding the gaze along infinite paths. From 2006 to today, Fornasetti has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows in Italy and abroad, collaborating with prestigious galleries, museums, and curators. Venues that have hosted his works include Galleria Mucciaccia, Galleria Mario Giusti HQ in Milan, Virus Art Gallery, and Galleria Medina in Rome, in addition to international projects curated by La Maison de La Petite Sara in the Republic of San Marino. Over the years he has participated in events such as Affordable Art Fair, Tiferno Comics, ArtExpo Arezzo, and initiatives curated by figures like Achille Bonito Oliva, Vincenzo Mollica, and Francesco Gallo Mazzeo. A cultured and curious artist, Fornasetti continues to interrogate painting as a living language, in constant transformation. In his works memory and innovation coexist, introspection and experimentation, creating a visual universe in which geometry becomes emotion and space becomes narrative.
