L. Caccioni Mixed Technique on Paper Italy 1991

Artist: Luca Caccioni (1962)

Born in 1962 in Bologna where he currently lives and works, Luca Caccioni artistically trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in his city. He taught at the Academy of Fine Arts of Palermo and Brera and since 2003 he has held the Chair of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. The first important exhibitions in his hometown date back to the early nineties, with the participation in Nuova Officina Bolognese at the Gallery of Modern Art and with the first personal exhibition at the Galleria Spazia. During the same decade, a series of solo exhibitions in various Italian and foreign galleries made the artist immediately bring himself to the attention of the public and critics. In 1994 he won the Michetti Prize, the oldest and longest-running initiative linked to painting after the Venice Biennale. His first personal exhibition in a public space was held in 1997, at the Palazzina dei Giardini of the Civic Gallery of Modena; on this occasion he acts directly on the space by exhibiting an installation and some sculptures and opening the field of research to new means of expression, according to what will become a constant practice of his research. His works are in the collections of important public and private institutions, including the Galleria d'Arte Moderna di Bologna, the Galleria Civica di Modena, the collection of the CARISBO Foundation in Bologna, the Unicredit Foundation, the BNL, the VAF Foundation in Frankfurt, the Permanente of Milan, the MAC of Lissone.

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
