Elio Ticca is an artist working with painting, sculpture and installation. Ticca inquires the relations between historic and contemporary artistic languages, matrix and copy, authenticity and fictionality, harmonizing surrealism, pop aesthetics and speculative realism. With a process of camouflage and re-creation, he investigates how affect can be represented, deconstructed, and reimagined across cultural and conceptual frameworks. His art, invested with an inherent affective agency, becomes eventually an invitation to explore forgotten and new horizons, and a direct portal into the oneiric and the unconscious.
