Iginio De Luca

Iginio De Luca (Formia, 1966) graduated in Painting in 1989 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, where he currently teaches in the Decoration course. He is a versatile artist; a musician, a visual artist, involved in video production, installations, and performances. In recent years, his artistic focus has primarily been on the creation of videos and photographic images, as well as what he defines as “blitz.” Positioning these actions at the intersection of urban art and performance, the artist engages in various activities sometimes flying over areas with planes, projecting images or writings onto buildings during swift nocturnal raids, or entering locations with elements of strong disturbance and visual impact, such as faux-electoral billboards. Blending ethics and aesthetics, technology and behavioural actions, De Luca advocates for interaction with the environment and the public, simultaneously critiquing, with a mix of irony and commitment, the crisis of values in our time.
