Among the most significant, in 2022 he exhibited his works at the prestigious Palazzo Grillo in Genoa, and in 2023 he was present at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, thereby expanding his visibility in both national and international contexts. Santicri was recognized among the Best-Selling Artists of 2024 by Artmayeur, one of the most renowned platforms in the art world. In the same year, he was also listed among the top three most searched names on the Catawiki platform, another sign of growing appreciation for his work. These accolades highlight Santicri's extraordinary talent and his increasing visibility in the contemporary art scene. Santicri Mixed media Size: 32 x 20 cm The work is accompanied by a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity Limited edition x/100 An universal image is subjected to real pressure. The surface of the canvas is no longer neutral: it is pulled, folded, restrained. The icon loses its stability and becomes matter, body, visible tension. The clothespins are not just a formal element, but a gesture. They lock the image in an intermediate state, as if it had been paused while trying to expand or escape. The face remains recognizable, but is compressed, forced into a new form that alters its balance. The work plays on the contrast between classical perfection and contemporary physical intervention. What was untouchable is manipulated, restrained, almost disciplined. It is not destroyed, but transformed under pressure. From this emerges a reflection on how stable the images we know truly are: even a minimal force can change our perception, revealing that even the most solid icons can be bent, deformed and rewritten. Canvas on 350 g/m², mounted on a spruce wood frame, frame not included. The work will be shipped with a random edition number. INSURED SHIPPING! The package is carefully packed. The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking behind icons such as Kaws and Banksy. His art stands out in an exclusive context that includes other categories of excellence, such as Rolex, Lego, Louis Vuitton, Porsche, Eames, Macallan, Tintin, Cartier and Pokémon. A talent recognized not only for creative value but also as one of the most promising investments of the year. Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist pursued a path that, between studies in Geometra (surveying) and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture craftsman. There he felt an increasingly strong need to find himself and unleash his creativity. His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe. His art is widely appreciated and cannot be missing among collectors of street art paintings and sculptures, pop art, contemporary art. "It is never easy to classify one's art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that marries well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
