Biography
Andrea Vicentini (1975 Trento) is a Fine Art photographer entirely self-taught through a continuous crescendo of stylistic discoveries, formal experiments and personal clear choices. In the age of digital photography, with an important investment on technological knowledge, he decides to bet on the process which leads the snapshot to become a tangible photo to personally follow all the stages of the creation.
In 2011 a journey to Australia marks his passage from photography as a form of personal documentation to photography as a form of wider communication. In 2012 the success of his first solo exhibition ARGINI VARIABILI (The variable river banks) made him a recognized artistic photographer and his photos start to appeal to a larger audience. He was invited to leave a trace of his photographic style in the ADAC archives of MART museum. The exhibition also took place at the Business Centre Aries and Partners of Trento and at the San Servolo Conference Centre in Venice (February 2013), and it will be held again at the Klien space in Borgo Valsugana (TN) in February 2014.
The year 2013 marks a further evolution in his photographic experience. The first appearance in world of art makes him feel the weight of the photographic value of both past and contemporary artists. This leads to the need to give deeper meanings to his shots, resulting from introspective and personal research. He doesn’t just take beautiful photos but he elaborates and deconstructs them to give them a new form, according to both his intimate and his aesthetic sense.
His latest project, called ‘LA FINTA NONNA’ (The false grandmother), is a photo-retelling of the story of Little Red Riding Hood, where human beings are questioned in their existential dimension and in their relationship with temptation, in an abstract view with slightly dark notes.
