Biography:

Oscar Giaconia is an Italian artist born in Milan in 1978. He creates imaginary composts that portray his mental obsessions, synthetic biologies, and alchemical mutations. His works often feature hermetic figures and explore the linguistic meanders of the monstrous and the caricature, metamorphosis, and identities. Giaconia has had several solo exhibitions, including 'The Kitbasher' at Fondazione Coppola in Vicenza and 'Hoysteria' at GAMeC in Bergamo. His artistic style often involves a mix of painting techniques and materials such as bonded leather.
