Artist Statement

In my practice, I seek to explore relationships. I often work from concept to material and allow ideas to give structure to form. Through this process I examine the physical nature of my materials in relation to my concept. Like Gestalt psychology I use a sum of parts to define a whole. My end result seeks to define beauty. The beauty I seek is not solely reliant upon visual perception for satisfaction. I am less interested in producing a visually pleasing image and more interested in producing an experience that questions its comprising components. The quality of these components is determined by their relationship to their corresponding parts. When the qualities of the components are all equally important, an understanding of beauty is formed. My goal is to emulate these pre existing equations to create relationships of beauty. The synergetic correspondence between singular entities is a universal experience that is beyond my art making practice, it can be found in meaningful social situations or in the development of a precious mineral. Through my practice I hope to illuminate that beauty is not an end result but a process.

Francesco Viscuso, born in Catania (Sicily) in November 1980, lives and works in Rome. He graduated from Art Institute in Catania - Architectural Design - and degreed in Art Criticism at the University of Rome "La Sapienza". His art ranges from the fields of painting to installation and video, however is the photography his main medium. The main themes of his work are Time, Memory and Trauma. Drama and Social Criticism are delved in his work into the Question of its relationship with Being in the World. Photography - and more generally the image itself - isn't for him the possibility of a contact with an alleged external reality, but rather "the Light of Mind, terribly Upset."
