Lorenzo D’Anteo
is a visual artist. His research starts from a deep reflection on craft and craft practice, understood as the recovery of obsolete and disused working techniques, where the boundaries between craft, design and art con stantly hybridize and erase. Central to his research is the reference to work practices and linguistic canons that belong to and deeply reflect the roots of a classical identity, where history and memory constitute the natural substratum from which a practice based on “making” comes to life. A making understood as work and discipline of a creative act in which material and conceptual aspects are never separated. In 2011 he is among the founders of the Btomic venue in La Spe zia, an alternative space that has hosted concerts, exhibitions, performances and theatrical productions. He made the illustrations for The eyes can see what the mouth can not say, a six-monthly magazine founded by Jacopo Benassi and Federico Pepe born to tell and document the activities of Btomic.
