Price On Request Handmade lenticular 59 x 59 in (150 x 150 cm)Italian artist Umberto Ciceri applies his early studies of neurophysiology and visual syntax to the construction of hypnotic art installations he calls “Hypertraits”. Speciali- sing in lenticular 3D, his panels feature silhouettes of figures and objects in seemingly perpetual motion. Perception is broken into a multi-step process, as viewers must first concentrate their attention to the out-of-focus figures, before physically shifting their sight across to experience the movement of the artwork. Ciceri describes the use of lenticular technology in his work to “provoke and trigger intense creative participation” as a key mechanism of his artistic process. Here, the observer becomes the engine of the work.Born in 1961 in Milan, Italy, Ciceri graduated from the Academy of Art and Fashion and the Textile Design University in Milan. For 25 years he conducted personal research on neurophysiology, perception and the biology of sight that would become the premise to his artwork. He lives and works in Bologna.KEY EXHIBITIONS2013 Entering Abstraction (Group), Opera Gallery, Geneva, Switzerland2013 E Dell’arno Alto Tesoro “Light Performance” (Group) Museo Nazionale del Bargello,Firenze, Italy2012 White Room meets White Room (Group), White Room Art System Contemporary Art, Positano, Italy2011 Arteractive E-Festival (Group), Urban Center, Milan, Italy 2011 Inevitable Abstractions (Solo), White Room Gallery, Positano, Italy2011 Padiglione Italia (Group), 54 Biennale d’Arte di Venezia, Turin, Italy 2009 The Magic Baton (Solo), Artefiera Off, Bologna, SpainART FAIRS2013 Scope Art Fair, New York, USA2012 Context Art Miami, Miami Beach, USA2012 Art Cologne, Cologne, Germany2012 Solo, Art Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine2011 Solo, Artefiera, Bologna, Spain2011 Solo, Art Verona, Verona, Italy
