Pucci

Born in Palermo in 1966, Nicola Pucci is an Italian painter whose masterly technique has gained the attention of prominent art world figures including Larry Gagosian and Carlo Bilotti. He has exhibited internationally in Italy, the USA, England, France, and South Korea, and held high-profile solo exhibitions at major museums including Rome's Carlo Bilotti Museum, Spoleto's Palazzo Collicola, and Fondazione Mudima in Milan. Pucci works largely from photographs, combining elements from different sources within a single painting, drawing upon influences including Surrealism and the art of Francis Bacon while standing apart from defined contemporary trends.
