Filippo Tincolini is an Italian artist who expresses himself through sculpture. Born in 1976 in Pontedera, Tuscany, after spending time in numerous foundries and marble workshops in Pietrasanta, he studied "Sculpture" at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara. In 2001, after completing his studies, he opened his own workshop in Fantiscritti, at the foot of the quarries, where he still creates his works today.
The territory of Carrara, where the artist lives and works, has had a strong impact on his sculptural research, which is mainly expressed through the use of white marble, a material he works with experimentally. Tincolini's artistic approach has always aimed to harmoniously merge distant worlds such as fine craftsmanship and high-tech, tradition and visionary spirit, the canons of classical sculpture and pop inspirations, mythology and comics.
He is currently represented by private galleries and continues his exhibition activities in both public and private spaces. He is often invited to participate in international meetings on the language of sculpture and the use of robotics applied to the art world.
"I use art as a means to investigate collective and personal identity, beyond the boundaries of time and space."
Tincolini's art stems from a strong spirit of research and experimentation that leads him to explore the possibilities born from the fusion of technological innovation and artistic tradition and to face a continuous challenge with the privileged material of his sculptures: marble. The result is symbolic and at times surreal works, perfectly polished and highly refined in their attention to detail, that fuse together worlds that are also far apart, to create aesthetic and conceptual bridges between different places and times.
Through sculpture, in fact, the artist monumentalizes the liquidity of our contemporaneity, masterfully interweaving high culture and pop aesthetics, learned quotations extrapolated from art history and images taken from the consumerist present, high aesthetic impact and conceptual depth, lightness and irony.
Thus are born works with a strong stage presence that are meant to astonish and at the same time make people think, stimulating — through multiple narratives and possible readings — a reflection on the human condition.
