Emanuele Tuccio - Center Point

Biography
​Emanuele Tuccio.
​He is an unusual artist, who paints using only his fingers: the result is a "movement-static" that leaves space 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 age 10, partly for fun, partly because he finds under his hands fertile ground to cultivate his talent. Here he develops his artistic knowledge, refining and dusting himself with various techniques. In his works, chiaroscuro and pencil predominance focus on portrait, the human body and still life. A bit like everyone who approaches the artistic world for the first time, but with a substantial peculiarity: “the refinement and softness of the details.”
​After obtaining the diploma of Geometer, he attends the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence and Palermo, where he finds an infinite vastness of world cultures, particular techniques and unusual sculptures; and it is precisely this encounter with the world that legitimizes his way of conceiving art and to understand that it is life.
​The years he spends 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, a white acrylic and a black one and... his hands. No brushes or palettes; Disassembled, tacit, furious works that give space to a hyperrealism that proves to be an oxymoron of “noisily silent” sensations.
​“The direct contact with the work, feeling the viscosity of the matter between the fingers, the roughness of the canvas, gives me the sensation of being outside the cage!!!” [quote by E. Tuccio]

The painting, at the end of the auction, will be sold with an authenticity certificate issued by the artist.
