Sandro Visca
Paesaggio Con Stelle

1993

About the Item

Sandro Visca, born in L'Aquila in 1944, has lived for many years in Pescara where from 1968 to 2003 he has taught Painting Disciplines at the Academy Section of the "G. Misticoni "(and among his many students, we remember at least the explosive talent of Andrea Pazienza). He made his debut early in important exhibitions, and already in '62 he was selected for the National Design Biennial "Premio Recoaro Terme" together with artists such as Casorati, Capogrossi, Morandi and Guttuso. In 1963 he moved to Rome where he lived until 1967. Versatile and busy, he collaborated in those years with the important seasons of the Teatro Stabile dell'Aquila, realizing in 1969 the scenes of Alberto Burri for "The Adventure of a Poor Christian" by Ignazio Silone (directed by Valerio Zurlini). The meeting with Burri grows to friendship, human association no less than artistic. Together they will spend numerous hunting trips, among the Umbria of the master of Città di Castello and their arcane mountains of Abruzzo. In 1973 he was invited with a work of six meters, in the Italian section "The empty space of the Habitat" of the XV International Triennial of Milan. Passionate frequentist of his mountains, together for love of hiker and science of anthropologist, he realizes in '75 a very particular performance, which is gesture, ritual, manifest, and at the same time medium-length: "A red heart on the Gran Sasso". Deeply interested in Latin American culture, and fascinated by the Journey as a total, creative and sapiential experience, in 1978 he organized a long expedition to South America centered on the popular aspects of Peru. Between one exhibition and another, travel continues (in '98 it crosses the Gran Sabana Venezuelana from Canaima to Roraima, up to Brazil, in '99, in northern Africa, the Tunisian desert and in 2012 the Great Atlas in Morocco). Present in the main events in Abruzzo, he has been invited to numerous national and international exhibitions. Versatile in various representation technologies, he often worked at the Castelli ceramic laboratories, and in 1990 he made a work for the "International Ceramic Collection of Contemporary Art "promoted by the FAGrue State Institute of Art". In 2008, at the Museum of Modern Art "Vittoria Colonna" in Pescara, he set up a large anthological exhibition, with more than one hundred works. (catalog edited by Plinio Perilli). In 2011 the art film "A red heart on the Gran Sasso" is presented with great success, wishes Vittorio Sgarbi, as the Special Event of the 54th Venice Biennale (catalog curated by Umberto Palestini). The commitment in the knowledge of the means that he uses in painting is equally evident in the manual execution of his piece sculptures (1969-70) and above all in the stitched works of the last years. Visca, to put it with Tito Spini, is like a shaman, sews words and fabrics, builds ritual objects for the "flight" and, from the height of the space reached, scrutinizes the future in the folds of history. The best known art critics of the national scene and also friends and colleagues have written about him: from Enrico Crispolti to Marco Valsecchi, from Gino Marotta to Nicola Ciarletta, from Marcello Venturoli to Lorenza Trucchi, Diego Carpitella, Ruggero Pierantoni, Tito Spini, Giacinto Di Pietrantonio, Umberto Palestini, Benito Sablone, Daniele Cavicchia and many others.
