Multimedia artist Luca Pancrazzi is known for his painting, sculpture, photography, video, light boxes, and large installation pieces that manipulate reflective surfaces in order to distort shapes.
The Italian artist Luca Pancrazzi was born in 1961 in Figline Valdarno, Florence. His work is based on the Florentine mathematician Corrado Brodi’s principle that two bodies cannot occupy the same place at the same time.
The artist, who sees himself mainly as a painter, has devoted much of his time to sculpture since the mid-1990s. In recent years he has often used glass and broken glass as means of expression. By covering cars, clocks, and other objects with hundreds of tiny glass shards, Pancrazzi creates a pixelated effect to contort the eye’s perception of these forms. Pancrazzi’s painting features similar objects and themes.
Luca Pancrazzi lives and works in Milan, Italy.
