Francesco D'Alconzo (Campomaggiore - Italy, 13 september 1960) is an italian painter and sculptor.

Biography

Francesco D'Alconzo

Francesco D´Alconzo born in Campomaggiore (PZ - Italy) September 13, 1960, but a few years later he moved with his family to Oggiono (LC).

In the mid 1990s, D'Alconzo moved to Germany, to Heidelberg, where he still resides and makes his works.

In 2008, D'Alconzo had his first solo exhibition at the Artouverture gallery in Milan;

In 2009 Francesco D'Alconzo[1] is at the Venice Biennale at the 53rd edition in the National Pavilion of the Republic of Costa Rica, edited by Gregorio Rossi[2], and set up at Cà Foscari University (Pavilion catalog "Natura e Sogni" Allemandi editions, and monograph published by Palombi Publishers);

In 2011, he exhibited at the first edition of Symphonie de Couleurs at Pesaro Papafava Palace (VE) with catalog published by Giorgio Grasso;

In 2013 Francesco D'Alconzo exhibited at Palazzo Merati (VE) at the exhibition Between Abstract and Figurative to the Discovery of the Third Millennium;

In 2014, he was chosen by art critic and historian Gregorio Rossi for the Permanent Collection of the Museum of Contemporary Italian Art in America[3] (MACIA), where Italian art is represented abroad;

In 2015, at Bollani Palace (VE), D'Alconzo[1] presented his works at The Grand Canal of Peace - Artists Against War, international exhibition with testimonials the Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse (represented by his heirs) and Dario Fo;

In 2016, in Rome, at the Villa Panfili Museum Complex, Francesco D'Alconzo exhibited again at the second edition of The Great Channel of Peace - Artists Against War;

In the same year, also in Rome, the artist is at the MACRO Testaccio, invited to the international exhibition Tattoo Forever, in the section dedicated to contemporary art;

In July 2019 he is a guest at the exhibition Listening to the Bauhaus 100 Years Later[4] (Como - Italy), with a presentation by art critic Alberto Gerosa;

In August 2019, the trade magazine Art&trA published the Manifesto of Francesco D’Alconzo[5];

In September and October of the same year, D'Alconzo was present in Venice at Merati Palace at the third edition of the exhibition Symphonie de Couleurs in in Biennial Circuit. On this occasion, the Manifesto of the artist is officially presented.

The Manifesto

The publication of Francesco D'Alconzo's Manifesto contains the author's artistic philosophy. Symbol of the Dalconzian stylema is the metallic hinge, understood as closure/opening to the inner world. However, it is not a commonly understood "zipper," but this accessory deprived of its cursor, where the cursor is the observer himself who becomes the active conduit toward his introspection, a discovery of his own "self" that also takes place through the connection with God: the cursor between suffering and the meaning of life.

The artistic zipper lacks its slider because it is the artist himself who is the slider that opens and closes the door to the unconscious, where all human emotions, feelings, fears and sufferings reside. A dimension that embraces each individual and in which the subject is reflected as in a mirror that sucks up all individualities and imprisons them beyond the canvas. That canvas then is both portrait and self-portrait of everyone who interfaces with it. In its many monochrome guises, the Dalconzian portrait is always the one and the same, identical and completely different. Because of this characteristic, in March 2020 one of D'Alconzo's works was proposed to the Drawings and Prints Cabinet of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Underlying D'Alconzo's artistic conception is then a further novelty, although already known in the Renaissance, expressed by the concept of the "Bottega": several artisans who specialize in different fields of art working together (and who do not necessarily know each other) in the realization of an idea, that of their master, who directs them to achieve a common goal, which is the work of art.

"Astrazione o Pensiero n.10", mineral pigments on jute, metal zipper - 136x30cm (2008)

«D'Alconzo does not write with a language, with a sedentary grammar anchored in the Renaissance, but he upsets the rules with his brush, which turns upside down and becomes unconscious. Let him act, and we will have surprises, for he will never stop, he will continue to deceive us with his hinges, firm and immovable, as if he had buried the brush within the form. A stratagem, a contracted form of inverted analysis, with the patient inside the form, as in a spaceship...»

Christian Parisot, President of the Modigliani Institute in Paris
