« Art is the most effective antidote to the poison of existence. »
Marco Corridoni is a painter, draftsman, and sculptor based in Italy whose works have been featured in several solo exhibitions nationally. His artistic practice focuses on "human investigation". Through this overarching theme, he explores concepts relating to freedom, conscience, and the dark sides of the soul. Yet, Corridoni also portrays the "incredible beauty that it contains". His figurative compositions combine hyper-realistic drawings with other materials such as wood, metal, plaster, etc.
