About the work
Furio Torracchi's presents a rich and varied body of work, divided into paintings, photographs, sculptures, and mixed media works, as well as a series of conceptual projects that testify to a profound and consistent visual exploration.
What strikes the viewer from the outset is the hybrid approach to artistic languages, in which digital photographs, electronic manipulations, pictorial strategies, and sculptural objects interact with one another. This plurality is never an end in itself, but rather reflects a critical investigation of the limits and possibilities of the image in the contemporary world: Torracchi does not consider photography solely as a realistic document, but as visual material to be transformed, decontextualized, and reinterpreted.
The presence of series such as Rare Faces, Stories, Private Sphere, and Landscapes reveals an artist who explores different modes of expression while maintaining a unified conceptual thread: the relationship between vision and memory, between perception and emotion. In many works, the starting point is a real photograph—often of landscapes, urban scenes, recognizable figures, or moments—which is then stripped of its descriptive function through digital manipulation and formal intervention. This process creates images that oscillate between figure and abstraction, eliciting an active rather than passive visual experience in the viewer.
Torracchi's research reflects contemporary trends in which visual language is questioned and transformed: photography is no longer a simple testimony, but a field of perceptual and conceptual exploration. The photographic medium thus becomes a bridge between reality and interpretation, between memory and invention. (Claudio Melo)
