Marco Battaglini is a contemporary Italian artist. The uniqueness of the artist is to conceptualize the possible coexistence of the ideals of classical beauty with the anti-aesthetic, the combination of the divine and refined with the vulgar, through a composition that can complement different realities in an eternal instant. His research of multidimensionality leads him to overlap different temporal, spatial, and cultural realities, where everything seems to make sense. This is ultimately Battaglini's purpose: remove barriers that distort the perception of reality.
Through a subtle interplay of multiple realities overlapping in the chronotope, Battaglini evidences the contradictions in mental models about the temporal contrast (chronological) and the cultural and linguistic barriers. Compositions that at first seem 'logical' immediately reveal temporal and spatial limitations that are disruptive in interpreting reality. The artist invites us to think that in today's global village, with the 'democratization' of culture, the evolution of knowledge, information immediacy, immersed in heterogeneity, the Patchwork Culture forces us to confront a need for understanding beyond our geographical boundaries of time.
Marco Battaglini was born in 1969, in Italy. He has exhibited his works all over the world.

Expressive Realism - The emotional content breaks
the barrier of the two dimensions
to capture three-dimensional space.
The powerful reliefs of the canvas
create a dynamism associated with the direction of light.
It is as if the vital forces tried to break free
