Elio Ticca is a contemporary artist working with painting, sculpture and installation. His work aims to investigate how the representation of affect can be conceptually and culturally deconstructed, as well as narrated in new plastic and visual forms. His research, developed especially through representational painting, strongly blends speculative realism and post-surrealism, while playing with the deconstruction and reconstruction of gender role apparatuses, queerness and heritage, history and dystopianism, exoticism and esotericism.
