AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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 was present at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, thereby expanding his visibility in both national and international contexts.
Santicri is 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, further evidence of the growing appreciation for his work. These recognitions highlight Santicri's extraordinary talent and his increasing visibility on the contemporary art scene.

Santicri-artist
Technique: RESIN and marble powder
Dimensions: H17 x L10 x P10 cm
Condition: new
Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed
Edition: limited edition 100 units

The sculpture is a provocative artistic expression. This work seems to challenge conventions and traditional expectations of art, blending ancient and modern elements in a surprising context.

The choice to depict a spinario, a subject typical of classical art, in such an unusual and contemporary context, suggests a reflection on our current culture and our relation to the past. The use of Nike and the scene of the removal of excrement can be interpreted as a pointed critique of consumerism and the obsession with luxury in the modern world.

The work appears to aim to provoke a reaction in the audience, raising questions about its symbolism and its deeper meaning. Ultimately, this contemporary sculpture seems to be a bold commentary on contemporary society, its obsession with consumption, and its relationship with history and tradition.

Edition limited to 100 specimens.
Hand-signed by the artist with certificate of authenticity
The edition number sent may not match the one in the photo.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking behind 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 pursued a path that, between studies in Geometer and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There, the growing need to find himself and give vent to 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 paintings and sculptures of street art, pop art, and contemporary art.
"It is never easy to classify your own art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of viewing what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."

Seller's Story

Communicating through a work goes beyond the message: it is the very heart of art. My works move between social messages and pure pop, often with a touch of irony. I try to reinterpret what surrounds me with a contemporary, impactful, and memorable visual language. Beauty, for me, is a bridge between people. In my works I seek to capture that sense of connection and recognition that comes from the harmony hidden in forms. Resin is today the material I prefer: it allows me to experiment, to fuse design and sculpture, to explore new aesthetic possibilities. This ongoing research pushes me beyond my comfort zone, keeping creative curiosity alive. I create to give shape to an inner impulse, to make visible what usually remains invisible: time, work, and experience that give meaning to our journey.
