The Monkey Show

Simone Fugazzotto (1983, Milan, Italy) has built his relationship with visual arts since early age: he was a cartoonist as a child, a lover of art history in adolescence, a painter at the academy. His artistic expression has been shaped throughout various experiences around the world during his quest of a unique identity. Though academically developed, Fugazzotto has detached from classical influences, experimenting with new ways, fusing figures, textures and medias. In his paintings figures of “sophisticated” humans in disparate situations are combined with the figure of monkey — out of point of origin, an example oft he harmony in which is possibility to co-exist with the nature, a model of simplicity and of integrity. He exhibited his works in different art galleries of New York, Paris, Prague and Milan.
