                        About the Artist
                    Valerio Nicolai is an artist whose practice is deeply embedded in a critical engagement with the legacy of painting and sculpture. His works are characterized by a playful yet rigorous experimentation with materials and techniques, often incorporating found objects and unconventional applications that defy easy categorization. Nicolai's oeuvre frequently blurs the boundaries between two- and three-dimensionality, inviting a reconsideration of form, surface, and illusion. His artistic methodology often involves a process of fragmentation and reassembly, resulting in works that possess a raw immediacy while simultaneously referencing complex historical and theoretical frameworks within contemporary art discourse.
