Maurizio Capisani

Studies and artistic training allow me to create multidisciplinary projects that hybridize performance, urban art and multimedia. 

As for the production of "art objects" such as paintings, installations and sculptures, mine can be defined as an artistic and artisan work at the same time. 

My works are created entirely using recycled materials: from the type of support (mainly wood), to the way in which I perform the coloring. For the creation of collages I use images from old magazines and newspapers that I find in flea markets. The frames, when provided, are also the result of recovery and arrangement or created with recycled wood. 

I have been experimenting and developing the technique I use to paint for several years. I don't use traditional colors (acrylic or oil) except rarely, but I get it through the transfer and layering of colors and images. 

I "extract" the color from the pages of Ikea catalogs and supermarket advertising flyers by means of water-based solvents, and then apply it to the wood, creating paintings and small sculptures. 

Mine is an aesthetic reflection on the world of image and communication, on the globalized and consumerist society, which translates into an artistic action of reuse, recovery, transformation of materials that companies quickly consume and throw away. Like the huge amount of printed paper in catalogs and advertising flyers that push us to be more and more consumers of the superfluous.
