Flavio de Marco (Lecce, 1975)
studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and currently he lives and works in Berlin. The artist's research focuses on the landscape: works are figurative and abstract at the same time, as the relationship among the single elements of the work is not always clear. He uses the computer screen as a frame to depict today’s world and he investigates this virtual space as a new model for painting: the flat and immaterial horizon of the screen replaces a three-dimensional reality, always challenged by the language of painting.
His first exhibition took place in 1997; then, several solo shows were displayed in Italy and abroad: we mention, among others, Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin; Frankendael Foundation, Amsterdam; Estorick Collection of Modern Art and Istituto Italiano di Cultura, London; Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia; Museum Frieder Burdan / Salon Berlin, Berlin; Palazzo dei Diamanti, Ferrara. His works belong to important private and public collections such as MAMbo, Bologna; Musei Civici, Forlì; Maramotti Collection, Reggi Emilia; Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Rome; Gallerie d'arte moderna e contemporanea, Ferrara; Kustbibliothek Staatliche Museen, Berlin.
Galleria Studio G7 dedicated to the artist the solo show Mimesi, 2004; Marina, 2015, and the double solo Schermorama, 2018.
