"SVCCY" MATTEO SUCCI (Ravenna, 1997). Lot n° 11

"SVCCY" MATTEO SUCCI (Ravenna, 1997). "Free me", 2019. Digital collage art on aluminum. Edition 1/15. Measurements: 40 x 40 cm. Svccy is a self-taught digital artist creator of totally unpublished images through the use of 2d and 3d graphics programs. The works he creates are inspired by the art of digital collage, permeated by the Vaporwave visual current developed during the first decade of 2000. This trend born on the Internet embodies a retro style influenced in part by the "chillwave" artists, who developed an imaginary associated with the use of images where violet and fuchsia colors predominate, the use of Greek sculptures, palm trees, pixel art, sunsets and references to the Japanese culture of the end of the millennium. Unlike the classic images of the genre, Svccy tends towards a darker and more introspective variant. The images reflect the human condition in today's society. The human figure is represented by statues often faceless or covered by objects, symbolizing the total lack of identity of the individual, subjugated by technology and ultra-consumerist society. References to Rodin's classical and neoclassical sculpture intersect with post-apocalyptic scenarios of large abandoned shopping malls, or rather finished and never used. All his works are processed by computer creating "collage-art" by joining images that apparently have nothing between them, where light and a good angle of vision are fundamental. Svccy intends to show us the reality in which man lives, an insubstantial, unreal reality, based on models of behavior imposed by the media, which control through fashion and advertising our lifestyles, making us believe that we live a free and self-determined life when in reality it is only an illusion.
