STATEMENT
Deeply rooted in the collective mythology of the early 2000s, Marco Curiale’s practice is hybrid and constantly evolving, shaped by multiple levels short-circuits generated from the continuous visual bombing we all experience.
His multidisciplinary approach creates a constant flow of data based on a wide range of subcultures: from nerd culture to fashion, from otaku culture to internet visual imagery, passing through niche fragments of everyday life. Among the billions of visual inputs surrounding us, certain unstable images are captured and transformed into the primary material of his artworks.
As the digital dimension of existence merges with the brutalist language of the street, connections emerge and bridges are formed between the artist’s personal experience, the generation he belongs to, and a broader, more conventional history.
