Tancredi Fornasetti - Senza titolo

Tancredi Fornasetti exhibits in important Italian and international galleries.

Tancredi Fornasetti was born in Rome in 1983, where he still lives and works. He graduated in Decoration from the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome under the guidance of Professor Michele Cossyro, and from the outset developed a strongly personal painting language that interweaves geometry, architecture, and a deep sensitivity to color.

His work sits within the broad horizon of Abstract art, but renews its coordinates with a contemporary and visionary approach. In his works, lines and planes multiply into perspectives and complex structures that evoke imaginary urban spaces, impossible architectures, and metaphysical geometries. The artist draws on both the rationalism of the 1930s and the lesson of De Chirico, filtering both through a sensitivity marked by digital experience and the visual culture of our time.

Fornasetti’s painting does not merely describe; it elaborates and transforms. References to art history—from Mondrian to Kandinsky, from Malevich to Soldati—blend with the cinema, scenography, and virtual reality, giving life to a visual syntax that unites analytical rigor and emotional impulse. His “contemporary skylines,” crafted strictly freehand, result from a balance between order and chaos, between geometric construction and instinctive gesture.

The relationship between space and color is the heart of his research: a constant dialectic between opposing forces—centripetal and centrifugal, analytical and synthetic—that generates a continual visual vibration. His surfaces open like doors, streets, and windows toward worlds that contradict and support each other at the same time, guiding the gaze along infinite paths.

From 2006 to today, Fornasetti has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows in Italy and abroad, collaborating with galleries, museums, and notable curators. Venues that have hosted his works include Galleria Mucciaccia, Galleria Mario Giusti HQ in Milan, Virus Art Gallery, and Galleria Medina in Rome, in addition to international projects curated by La Maison de La Petite Sara in the Republic of San Marino. Over the years he has participated in events such as Affordable Art Fair, Tiferno Comics, ArtExpo Arezzo, and initiatives curated by figures like Achille Bonito Oliva, Vincenzo Mollica, and Francesco Gallo Mazzeo.

A cultivated and curious artist, Fornasetti continues to question painting as a living language, in constant transformation. In his works memory and innovation, introspection and experimentation coexist, creating a visual universe in which geometry becomes emotion and space becomes narrative.
