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
Vincenzo De Cotiis is one of the pioneers of contemporary collectible design. Born in 1958 in Italy, De Cotiis lives and works in Milan. De Cotiis’ work represents a winding path that often doubles back upon itself, one fuelled by parallelisms of space and time, cultural layerings and quantum leaps. A process imperceptible to reason and intellect yet manifested through the materiality of his countless works.
