Biography
Matteo Negri was born in S. Donato Milanese (MI) in 1982. He currently lives and works in Milan.
“My artistic practice is aimed to analyze the perceptive role of the surface and the color, both in the field of sculpture and of artworks of a two-dimensional nature. In particular I deeply analyzed geometrical aspect, also to the phenomenon of chromatic variability and mirror reflection, which I used as alienating devices capable of altering the ordinary perception of volumes and planes. Thanks to this mode, the work stops being a fixed and absolute form, since it kinetically activates a relationship with the context and with the same observer who, in some way, contaminate it in a game of continuous visual reflex. The materials that I love most are aluminum, colored paper, glass and iridescent films that allow, with their magical charm, to go beyond a static and monolithic vision of the usual art-work.”
