Carmine Bellucci (1985) is an Italian artist and illustrator working and living in Padua, Italy.
He attended the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Milan and graduated in Visual Arts. Afterwards he continued his studies attending the advanced course in Type Design at Politecnico in Milan. He has worked with many international clients. Besides his training and work he has been involved in the underground visual culture and kept up to date with the latest trends in urban subculture. He founded the Interplay Art group, landing several commissioned works and taking part in many local and national street art events.
He focuses his research on the power of the line and the ability to master it.
Everything starts from a line, it has the power to be gentle, expressive, poetic and loud.
It's a matter of life and death, the threshold of black and white, the moment where reality ends and imagination begins.
He likes to have his own visual vocabulary which is a synthesis of classicism and organic modernity. His expressive signature that evokes a complexity of themes as relationships, human mankind, oddities, pleasures and love. Influences range from old frescoes and ancient Mediterranean civilisations to Jean Cocteau and modern culture.
He likes to give a sense of incompleteness to his works, as if they were in a sort of limbo, an in-between state of reality and imagination, consistency and uncertainty.
