Born in Foggia in 1986, from a young age, Agostino Iacurci showed great interest in art and creativity. His artistic origins must be traced to writing, that is, writing with markers or sprays that Iacurci began to use when he was twelve. This passion then grew and evolved through his studies in illustration. Agostino Iacurci’s works are influenced by a variety of sources, including Pop Art, comics and illustration. He has also drawn inspiration from mural art and the concept of public art, allowing him to take his works beyond traditional exhibition spaces and engage with a wider audience. His works often address social themes and contemporary issues, such as communication, identity, consumerism, and the relationship between the individual and public space. Using bright colors and simple forms, Iacurci creates images that stand out by virtue of their immediacy and great graphic potency. His works often feature stylized and abstract human figures that blend harmoniously with their surroundings. From his hand come what might be described as contemporary fairytale characters. This distinctive style has made his works very popular and recognizable all over the world. To fully understand Iacurci’s art, we cannot fail to refer to the social initiatives in which he has been involved. In 2009, the artist painted a 300-meter wall for the Saba School in Sahrawi and, in 2011, with the collaboration of some inmates, he created three wall paintings in the inner courtyard of Rebibbia Prison, Rome. His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, festivals and projects in Europe, the United States, Brazil, Russia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Australia, Korea, Japan and Taiwan. Recent exhibitions include Urban Art Biennale 2017, Völkinger Hütte, European Centre for Art and Industrial Culture, Germany; Cross the Streets, Macro Museum Rome, 2017; FADA, House of Madness, The Watermill Center, New York, 2016; the 16^th Premio Cairo, Palazzo della Permanente, Milan, 2016; Codici sorgenti, Palazzo Platamone, Catania, 2015; From Street to Art, Italian Cultural Institute of New York, NY, 2014; Artmosphere, Urban Art Biennale, Artplay, Moscow, 2014.
