Episode description
Full episode available on Patreon. Born in 1986 in Milan, Italy, Francesco lives & works in Brooklyn, New York. Established in the contemporary art world & showing internationally, his practice is just as likely to manifest as a drawing, a painting, or a sculpture, often blurring the distinction between these forms. Drawing from a unique variety of found images, he seems to create an archive in which there is no hierarchy between contemporary events & historical facts. Deiana actively uses landscape, portraiture & iconography in an effort to conjure the detached & unsettling feeling of our fractured contemporary world. His top 5 handstyles are Petro, Specy, Brite, Skuf, & Twist.
