About this artwork
From the "The Other Side" series Bob Marley.
In this series, which I called "The other half", I paint all the characters who have left me something during my life. It is not so much a celebration of their person but more than anything else they represented for me. Bob Marley has marked my musical experience as a guitarist and singer. His music taught me what it means to feel part of something, to be respectful and tolerant, to experience the same… emotions in unison while playing reggae. His sense of brotherhood and humanity have freed the Jamaican people. That's why I represented other people in the other half of the figures / people trying to pull upwards.

« Each composition is a story that can be read between the expressions of the many characters represented and the joints of the figures that intertwine. »
Antonio Cotecchia, aka Kotè, is an Italian artist who works at the intersection of painting, sound, and urban space. His research stems from the intersection of traditional techniques and contemporary languages, developing a style that intertwines Expressionist, Cubist, Futurist, and Pop influences.
At the heart of his work is the human face, understood as a threshold: a traversable surface where visible identity and inner dimension coexist. His works become layered narrative spaces, where symbols, fragments, and visions construct a profound dialogue with the viewer.
From canvas to public space, his practice expands into urban interventions that transform places into shared experiences, activating connections between individuals and communities.
For Kotè, painting means making visible what normally remains hidden: emotions, energies, possibilities. A process of transformation that invites the viewer to recognize their own uniqueness.
