Alessandro
Andreuccetti was born in
San Gimignano,
Italy, July 28,
1955. He studied art and architecture in
Florence
and, after graduating, started his job in 1980 as a graphic designer and
painter. From 1978 he was interested in watermedia painting, fascinated with this
technique and the support of hand-worked paper. He was showing paintings in
many italian towns.
On 1983 he won the 1th prize at "concorso nazionale del fumetto e del
Fantastico di Prato" and he started to collaborate with Sergio Micheli of
University of Siena and the editor and publisher Nerbini of Florence to realize
comics and illustrations.
He published two graphic novels and many illustrations for various books.
In parallel
with the graphical activity, it continues its artistic surveying searching in
the landscapes and the figures taken to model the forms and the colours to
amalgamate in new perfectly independent compositions, as it has had way to
emphasize the university professor Anna Benvenuti: “…Therefore its paint-brush
leads to us, onlooker, between the warm ways of Saint Gimignano, red of history
or nocturnal of china, tclose to the forests to butterfly leaves, in the bluesy
stormy or the green infinite of the young grain fields. With its chromatics it succeeds, much better
than how much it is not possible to the historian, to evoke the thickness of
the time inborn in the things, their meant ucronic of compendium. Therefore thanks to the light, before between
'pieces' of the creation - also of that artistic one - it expresses the
immaterial substance of the duration, the patina of becoming, the essence of
the generations that that time they have crossed and lived covering the same
places and watching the same colours.”
