Description from the seller
Alessandro Kokocinski, self-portrait, oil on canvas. 79x59 cm. Sold with frame (98x77). Excellent condition.
Alessandro Kokocinski (Porto Recanati, 1948 – Tuscania, 2017) was one of the most original Italian figurative artists of the second half of the 20th century. Born to a family of Russian-Polish origins fleeing the persecutions of Eastern Europe, he spent his childhood between Latin America and Europe, experiences that profoundly marked his artistic sensibility.
Painter, sculptor, stage designer and illustrator, he developed a personal language characterized by visionary and theatrical figuration, populated by circus characters, acrobats, clowns and figures suspended between reality and the dream dimension. During his career he exhibited in numerous public and private institutions in Italy and abroad, also collaborating with important theatrical and musical organizations.
His work is today recognized for its ability to fuse narrative intensity, a strong symbolic component and refined painterly research, placing him among the most significant figures of contemporary Italian figurative art.
Provenance: private collection.
Technique: oil on canvas.
Subject: the artist's self-portrait at the easel with palette and brush.
