wall paintings
Ticca reimagines pre-exhisting spaces under a new light, reinterpreting the tradition of the fresco as a new conceptual form of decoration.
Each wall painting reconfigures the architectural space, providing an illusionistic result with an effective trompe-l'oeil effect. Interiors are turned into outer spaces, where landscape painting meets architecture, and a room becomes an outdoor space. Like in a topological object, outer and inner walls become a continuum and the room a shelter, dedicated to the recollection of thoughts and contemplation.

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.
