Cosimo Casoni Italian, b. 1990

Italian artist Cosimo Casoni blends characteristics of surrealism and post-graffiti aesthetics with traditional painting techniques.  Approaching mark making in a variety of styles, his use of a skateboard as medium was influenced by skating as creative expression – a subculture Casoni has been immersed in since his youth. Looking for meaning and new formal geographies, Casoni creates images that live in balance between stillness and movement, reality and illusion.

 

Casoni studied Visual Arts and Painting at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA), Milan. The artist has exhibited widely across Europe.
