AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Santicri has participated in numerous internationally significant art exhibitions. Among the most notable, 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, thus expanding his visibility in both national and international contexts.
Santicri was 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 the extraordinary talent and the ever-increasing visibility of Santicri in 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 copies

The sculpture is a provocative artistic expression. This work seems to challenge conventions and traditional expectations of art, mixing 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 relationship with the past. The use of Nike and the scene of removing excrement can be interpreted as a pointed critique of consumerism and the obsession with luxury in the modern world.

The work appears intended to provoke a reaction in the audience, raising questions about its symbolism and 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 pieces.
Hand-signed by the artist with certificate of authenticity
the edition number shipped may not correspond to the one in the photo.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately following icons like 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 surveying and architecture, led him to collaborate with an artisan who makes resin sculptures. There arose an increasingly strong need to find himself and give vent to his creativity.
His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe.
His art is widely appreciated and cannot be missing among collectors of street art, pop art, and contemporary art paintings and sculptures.
"It is never easy to classify one’s art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me, and I reinterpret it with a design that harmonizes 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.
