Biography
Vinci is a Conceptual Artist and is best known for his abstract use of repetitive vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines superimposed with four-letter words forming a playable word search.
“The idea or concept [Conceptual Art] is the most important aspect of the work, and I use any medium [painting, digital, printmaking or sculpture] to convey the idea to the piece of Fine Art”
The Artist is interested in the interaction between opposites, yin & yang, war & peace, love & hate, rich & poor, and life & death. The Artist juxtaposes these contrasts with the innocence of Toys and Games used in our youth.
His most recent body of work Style Series is influenced by De Styij or Style after Piet Mondrian [1872-1944]
His previous body of work includes Flags of the World which communicates with viewers through linguistics, semiotics, and cryptography. The series includes English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, and American Flags superimposed with four-letter words of their respective language forming a playable word search from A to Z.
His previous works include, Retro Celebrity Stars, which is a homage to Celebrities of our past from the films of the Hollywood Golden Era to the present day. Every one of these individuals helped create the world we live in today, and though we know their names, their actual images might be fading from our memory.
Disasters of War, is a homage to Heroes and Villains from World War I & II, by the use of humorous and tongue-in-cheek language to explore the more serious issues of the past to the present day. Heroes and Villains are portrayed in life, death, and immortality by the use of toys of our innocent youth. The toys are used as a satirical look at the “Disasters of Wars” revealing shock and truths of war and violence in a playful way.
