All auctions / Contemporary Art / Tuccio Emanuele - The sense of body
Biography Emanuele Tuccio. He is an unusual artist, who paints using only his fingers: the result is a "static movement" that leaves room for a free interpretation by the observer. Born on March 7, 1990 in Gela, a Sicilian city facing the Mediterranean. He began attending a private art school at the age of 10, partly for fun, partly because he found fertile ground under his hands to cultivate his talent. Here he develops his artistic knowledge, refining and enriching himself with various techniques. In his works, in chiaroscuro and pencil, portraiture, the human body, and still life prevail. A bit like what anyone who approaches the artistic world for the first time does, but with a substantial peculiarity: “the refinement and softness of the details.” After earning the diploma as a Surveyor, he attends the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and in Palermo, where he finds an infinite breadth of world cultures, special techniques, and unusual sculptures; and it is precisely this encounter with the world that broadens his way of conceiving art and makes him understand that it is life. The years spent painting, the desire to stand out, the ambition and the humility that distinguish him will lead him to choose what today is his language, made of only four elements: a canvas, white and black acrylic, and... his hands. No brushes or palettes; Disassembled, tacit, furious works that give way to a hyperrealism that turns out to be an oxymoron of “noisy-silent” sensations. "The direct contact with the work, feeling the viscosity of the material between my fingers, the roughness of the canvas, gives me the sensation of being outside the cage!!!" [quote. E. Tuccio] The canvas will be accompanied by a certificate of uniqueness, signed by the artist.
