Angelo Accardi’s art has a way of describing, delving into, and absorbing powerful energy from the different styles and forms of stress that permeate modern day-to-day life. Be it urban landscapes or the insides of houses and museums, the artist captures moments with the same nitidity of a hidden camera and, by filtering them through his original artistic interpretations, moulds them into representations of a fascinating, yet complex personality. In his paintings, symbols become the key to interpreting hidden realities. Thanks to his deep understanding of communication and emotion, Accardi has achieved worldwide fame and is currently one of the most interesting members of the European art scene.
Biography
Angelo Accardi was born in 1964 in Sapri, a town in the province of Salerno. After a brief study period at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Naples, in the early 90’s he inaugurated a personal art studio in Sapri, where he started experimenting with ways of depicting social themes. Discovering recondite human feelings is the grail of his art. Magical urban and interior architectures, born of a sophisticated synergy of painting and vision, enrapture the beholder. He has taken part in many solo and joint exhibitions in Italy and around the world. His paintings have been seen on display in some of the most prestigious Italian and European art galleries, and in 2011 his Misplaced series adorned the Italian pavilion at the 54th edition of the Biennale di Venezia, the Venice Arts Festival. Since 2012, Accardi has always been present at the world’s most important contemporary art fairs. According to specialised press, the evaluations of his paintings are held to be some of the most interesting on the market, insofar as medium-term potential is concerned.
