Artists from the Exhibition
"Zona Bianca Zero" curated by Giorgio Verzotti (Passed exhibition)

Born in Cava de ‘Tirreni (SA) in 1973, He currently lives and works between Rome and London.

Initially close to informal painting and later to graphic art, from the second half of the last decade Davide D’Elia’s work has been characterized

by the interaction between physical agents and artistic handiwork, the results of which the artist has explored through an intimate and everrenewed

dialogue between time and material.

Davide D’Elia produces work that often re-values modern aesthetic terminology by presenting itself beyond object and objectivity, by which he obtains a reasoning that examines the concepts of time and the flow of time in the space.

The artist observes and lets them start growing spontaneously: passing the time, their increasing shapes become drawings made by the nature

on the object of art.

The starting point is the artistic production of Davide D’Elia: moving between the contamination between different languages, from photography to

complex multi-material installations, D’Elia reasons on the power relations that govern the world around us, for example the interaction between atmospheric agents and art objects.

His works often re-values modern aesthetic graphic terminology by presenting itself beyond object and objectivity (which are nevertheless important symbols), by which he obtains

a reasoning that examines the concepts of time and the flow of time. The artist observes and lets them start growing spontaneously: passing the

time, their increasing shapes become drawings made by the nature on the object of art.

 His works have been exhibited at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, others acquired in the MAXXI collection - Museum of 21st Century Arts and he participated in the 55th Venice Biennale (2013).
