Marco De Sanctis, RÈMINESCENCES

Room 12

In the attic of a house once inhabited by an artist, Marco De Sanctis found some canvases prepared by the painter, but not yet painted. Scraping the preparatory layer down to the base, an idea emerges, which unrolls in space, without letting itself be grasped. A linearity that returns as a leitmotif in the artist’s production and that leads from the Tapisserie drawn with meticulous care and patience on paper, taking up the same motif of the carpet sketched on the D’Après Ingres engraving, restored by the artist, to the certificate of authenticity of the precious burin engraving, which De Sanctis has transcribed, in pencil, on the wall of the room.

Marco De Sanctis was born in 1983 in Milan. He lives and works between Italy and Bruxelles.
