A series of a hundred of drawings by Alessandro Cicoria, realized in New York in April 2024.
The china ink on paper pictures portray an instinctive and fragmentary narrative. Founded objects, views of the city, places and works of art are recognizable signs of the urban storyboard.
The photographic memory and the drawings' format recall the initial artist's sketchbook, a visual library that could belong both to paper and to the screen of a smartphone.
The practice of Alessandro Cicoria (born 1981 in San Benedetto, Italy, lives and works in Rome) is a continuous process aiming at formalizing an accidental act. Most of his works come from archival studies, from an investigation of the past, often resulting from a long narrative.
