Andrea Papi, a professor at the Academy of Arts and New Technologies in Rome, began his career as a Visual Designer, transforming into a Concept Artist to give vent to ideas that were too conceptual for the marketing sector.
Papi's works are an expression of divergent thinking and a subtle, critical eye on political and social issues.
Quoting the author: "[...] art has the important task of transcending the threshold of everyday life, of directing one's gaze beyond cultural conditioning and looking out onto a panorama free from preconceptions; of restoring the mind to primordial elasticity and training thought to remain free to interpret reality and experience without contamination; of fueling the imagination. [...]"
In fact, Papi's works often resemble a modern readymade in which everyday objects are repurposed, modified, and fused together, or given a meaning that is usually inappropriate for their purpose, challenging the obvious.
