Artists · Critics · Curators

One name.
One practice.

An essential index of the people featured by Acquistare Arte. Each profile offers a concise critical reading and connects our editorial feature to an official or authoritative source.

01

Cultural journalist, artist and curator

Francesco Arena

Through Other Identity, he turns the interview into a continuing curatorial device. Photography, video and performance form an archive of contemporary public identities.

02

Multidisciplinary artist and performer

Robert Gligorov

Body, self-portraiture and technology shape a practice that refuses a fixed signature. Identity becomes performance, fiction and self-analysis.

03

Photographer

Stefano Gervasoni

Portraiture emerges inside kinky culture with subjects who share the creative process. Mask and symbol help reveal rather than conceal identity.

04

Multidisciplinary artist

Elena Ketra

Body, self-determination and stereotypes become direct visual devices. A practice that is accessible in its pop language and rigorous in its politics.

05

Artist and photographer

Massimo Scognamiglio

Painting and photography question portraiture, fashion and public identity. Polished images are crossed by matter, montage and tearing.

06

Artist

Marco Réa

Stencil, line and altered advertising surfaces remove the face from seduction. The figure remains recognisable while becoming psychologically unstable.

07

Artist

Luciano Civettini

Autobiographical memory, art history and resin-sealed books create layered narrative environments. Melancholy becomes material rather than atmosphere.

08

Artist, philosopher and writer

Francesco D’Isa

Generative error and latent space question the author as absolute origin. Artificial intelligence becomes a philosophical problem before it becomes a style.

09

Artist and founder of Arte da Rubare

Marco Cantarelli · Canz52

A work left in the street is completed when someone carries it away. Author, passer-by and place share the performance.

10

Art critic, curator and author

Barbara Martusciello

Criticism becomes sustained attention and relationship rather than promotional noise. Editorial work preserves the memory and complexity of the present.

11

Photographer and gallerist

Stefano Esposito

Photographic practice meets the independent mediation of Takeawaygallery, extending the author’s gaze to relationships between works, artists and audiences.
