Agostino Iacurci's (b. Foggia Italy 1986 lives and works in Berlin) paintings sculptures
installations and murals are based on vegetal forms and botanical subjects. Lucid compositions
in radiant colors unfurl fantastical ornaments that transcend the division between figuration
and abstraction and the hierarchical distinctions of applied art design fine art and folk
art. His central theme is the painted garden in which he stages plants humans architecture
geometry and decoration in a fashionably theatrical landscape. In Iacurci the
interpenetration of nature and civilization is real integrating mythological motifs from
across the history of art and culture from antiquity to futurism and postmodernism into his
singular style. Agostino Iacurci studied fine arts at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome.
Since 2009 he has realized numerous large-format murals and installations for public and
private institutions. He has also worked with international brands including Apple Adidas
Hermès and Starbucks.
