Francesco Pacelli
Biography
Francesco Pacelli (Perugia, 1988) graduated in Milan in Industrial Design shifting then his research into artistic practice. He worked as an assistant for Roberto Cuoghi in 2016 and was part of the artistic direction of Dimora Artica from 2018 to 2020. Working with several mediums and materials such as ceramics, synthetic materials, metals, graphite, light, the focus of the work is mostly focused on sculptures, immersive installations and drawings. His research is an attempt to connect different worlds and references inspired by science and spirituality, the relationship between nature and artifice and cosmic stories. The resulting imaginaries often merge into fantastic and alternative environments, creating unreal but plausible scenarios, in a constant search for escapism.
