Vincenzo de Cotiis’ latest collection Archaeology of Consciousness reimagines the Renaissance sculptural ideal of the arch.
A combination of black onyx and hand-patinated fibreglass gives the artworks a sense of temporal decay, as De Cotiis expresses on the surface of his materials the corrosion and sedimentation that affects ancient objects over time. Searching throughout history in the manner of an ethnologist, the artist seeks classical elements to project into the future, for future archaeologists to rediscover.
Artist
Vincenzo De Cotiis
A pioneer of contemporary collectible design, Vincenzo De Cotiis is known for merging art, architecture and design into a singular, sculptural language. Through manifestations that conflate archaic idioms with futuristic expressions, his evocative works embody a vision of design as poetic and non-replicable.
