DAVIDE BERTOCCHI
1969 Modena. Lives and works in Paris and Milan

Bertocchi’s work expresses a fascination with the dilatation of space, with the rotary movement of the universe; an interest in scientific discoveries; an amazement at the cosmos; a space full of new possibilities. His works also expresses the need to reach the very essence of things, to travel to the center of the earth, as in the novel by Jules Verne, to go and look beyond the cut of one of Lucio Fontana’s canvasses, to discover how many different forms a planet can have.
