Patrick Tuttofuoco

The practice of Patrick Tuttofuoco (Milan, 1974) weaves a dialogue between individuals and their ability to transform the environment in which they live. He explores the notions of community and social integration in order to combine immediate sensory appeal and the power to trigger deep theoretical responses. Tuttofuoco blends Modernism and Pop and pushes figuration towards abstraction, using man as a paradigm of existence, matrix and unit of measurement of reality. From this interpretative and cognitive process, infinite versions of the individual and the context in which they live are produced, from which forms capable of animating the sculptures are generated.
Patrick Tuttofuoco participated in the 50th Venice Biennale (2003), Manifesta 5 (2004), at the 6th Shanghai Biennial (2006) and 10th Havana Biennial (2009). His works have been exhibited in various international institutions such as the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation, Turin, Italy (2006) and the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin (2008).
