Francesco Gioacchini

About

Francesco Gioacchini’s work moves between couples of opposites, investigating the relation between image and nonimage, abstract mark and figure, drawing and painting, in a wider framework which addresses the implications of personal memory in their correspondence with the contemporary aesthetics.

There is not a clear distinction between the medium of drawing and painting in Francesco's practice, they usually lay in the same perimeter, overlapping themselves and influencing each in the process of creating the work. Along with bi-dimensional works, Francesco Gioacchini uses everyday objects to create site-specific installations. Clothes, plants, documents, flags are some of the elements Francesco incorporates in his artistic research.
