Fabrizio Sannicandro
Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna in the 1980s, where he graduated with a thesis on futurism and the main theme of art as a game, Since the beginning, Fabrizio Sannicandro has felt and seen the center of his artistic and cultural interests in the expressive contamination of languages. Its foundations are those of training linked to traditional expressive techniques in a moment that precedes the imminent digital revolution which occurred at the beginning of the new millennium. The illustration, graphics and design accompanied his pictorial research in parallel, characterizing an interdisciplinary activity, beyond the limits of the genre to which they belong. In addition to participation in painting exhibitions, he has collaborated with editorial companies including "Il Manifesto", “The red shrimp”, Lisciani Games, with the creation of illustrations for newspapers, periodicals and products for children. His entire artistic career is characterized by the use of the two languages, accompanying the creative expressiveness of manual skills with the multimedia support of digital technologies. However, in recent years Sannicandro has returned to placing manual skills and traditional techniques at the center of its work, carrying out research on the sense of community that, through painting, expresses itself in images, shapes and figures with the flavor of endless tales, where time and memory merge in suspended atmospheres.
