Leo Luccioni
1994, France; lives and works in Brussels.
His multidisciplinary practice seamlessly moves between installation, sculpture, print-making, and drawing. Through a colourful, pop, and gaudy aesthetic, Luccioni highlights the ambiguity of our relationship with consumerism in a neoliberalism era. Between seduction and abhorrence, ephemeral and sacred, his work involves standardised daily-life products given precious and fictional forms. His pieces become the characters of fictional narration, comically similar to entrepreneurial storytelling. Under the disguise of humour and deliberate anti-poesy, Leo Luccioni’s work is deeply conceptual. His subtly provocative practice constantly applies capitalistic phenomenons – such as counterfeit, delocalised production of his own pieces, and advertising – to the artistic field, questioning the absurdity of mass production and the illusion of material happiness of our time.
