AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Santicri's unique work, among the Best-Selling Artists of 2024 and one of the three most sought-after names on Catawiki. “Fall and Rebirth” represents one of the most intense expressions of his exploration of the duality between chaos and transformation, combining visual power and technical refinement.

Description:
This work transforms the painting gesture into an essential, direct, almost primitive sign. The single, continuous stroke develops on the surface as an immediate trace, without corrections, making the act visible at the very moment it happens.

The line, irregular and tactile, is crossed by drips that introduce a tension between control and abandonment. What might appear simple becomes, instead, an authentic recording of the gesture: a fragile balance between intention and chance.

The real insertion of the brush interrupts the painting’s two-dimensionality, turning the work into a physical presence. The gesture is no longer merely depicted, but remains suspended in space, as if it were never truly finished.

Technical details:
Technique: Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 70 × 100 × 2 cm (2 canvases 50 × 70 cm)
Edition: Unique work
Signature: Handwritten on the front
Certificate of Authenticity included
Shipping: Professional packaging, insured shipping with tracking. Canvas mounted on a wooden frame (frame not included).

Artist profile:
Santicri (Macerata, 1992) is an internationally recognized Italian artist. He exhibited in 2022 at Palazzo Grillo in Genoa and in 2023 at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York.
In 2024 he was included among Artmayeur’s Best-Selling Artists and among the three most sought-after artists on Catawiki, alongside iconic names such as Kaws and Banksy. His works are today in private collections and galleries across Europe.

His research fuses contemporary art, design, and material experimentation, giving rise to works with immediate impact and strong collector appeal.

“I try to convey what my eyes see, reinterpret it in a modern key: direct, powerful, memorable.” — Santicri

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.
