Agostino Iacurci(Italy)

At first glance, you might mistake Agostino Iacurci's vivid murals as only a picture. A charismatic way of making the street brighter. However, the murals depict the surroundings they inhabit.

The dialogue

Using ironic undertones to bring attention to his murals, Iacurci has a very unique way of bringing a community together by the circumstances and development that have seen. 

Future Simple

Punti di fuga

Smemo

Autostalk

Fish and Kids

Exert from Agostino Iacurci's interview from Lanciatrendvisions.com, 

"A first level of reading of the murals in Porto Fluviale can be the infantile image of a person that swims among fishes. If you look at the context though, you discover that you are in an area historically linked to the fish market, an unhappy environment for the protagonists of the murals. In addition, the title, "Fish'n'Kids", apart from describing the scene, refers also to a famous dish. So in total you have a vital image that contemporarily represents a catastrophe. It’s the irony unleashed by a sadistic element. I try to work on that threshold mechanism through which an innocent image can become mischievous, or serenity can become a premonition. This is my motivation, my story. But I think the interesting aspect comes afterwards, in the interpretations of others."

Agostino Iacurci will be one of the artist featured at this years Living Wall Atlanta 2013.
