Tancredi Fornasetti - Edifici al crepuscolo

Tancredi Fornasetti exhibits in important Italian and international galleries.

Acrylic on canvas 30x30 from 2026

Tancredi Fornasetti was born in Rome in 1983, where he still lives and works. Graduated in Decoration from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma under the guidance of Professor Michele Cossyro, from his early days he has developed a strongly personal pictorial language, intertwining 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 from the rationalism of the 1930s as well as from De Chirico’s lesson, filtering both through a sensibility marked by digital experience and the visual culture of our time.

Fornasetti’s painting is not limited to description: it elaborates and transforms. References to art history—from Mondrian to Kandinsky, from Malevich to Soldati—blend with cinema, set design and virtual reality, giving life to a visual syntax that unites analytical rigor and emotional impulse. His “contemporary skylines,” strictly painted by hand, are the result of 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 continuous visual vibration. His surfaces open like doors, streets and windows to worlds that contradict each other 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 exhibitions in Italy and abroad, collaborating with galleries, museums and prominent curators. Among the venues that have hosted his works are 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 exhibitions such as Affordable Art Fair, Tiferno Comics, ArtExpo Arezzo, and initiatives curated by figures such as 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 narration.
