Andrew Iacobucci (b. 1986) lives and works in Rome. His most recent exhibitions and performances have been hosted by Novalis Art Gallery (Hong Kong), the French Academy at Villa Medici, Colli Independent, IUNO, and the Fondazione Nicola del Roscio (Rome). Trained in architecture, his artistic path unfolds through an investigation of the primary forms of visual communication—both in their normative dimensions, such as road signage, and in more instinctive expressions, like early childhood attempts at writing—challenging the very notion of language as a stable and universal tool. His work moves between rigor and play, structure and fragility, probing the space where meaning begins to emerge. His painting practice, which forgoes expressive gesture in favor of a more mechanized process, results from the interplay between method and contingency. The decontextualization of visual codes lies at the core of his research: Iacobucci does not merely depict signs, but dismantles their functional implications, removing them from their intended use and reintroducing them as autonomous elements. The outcome is a repertoire of traces, margins, and boundaries that no longer define a specific territory but instead become pictorial matter and a space for reflection.
