Italian skateboarding talent. Promising and multifaceted abstract artist.
Mattia Turco approaches painting early. He was only 16 when he began his first experiments, looking for a personal language that he declined on a variety of media. The metropolitan context in which he grows up has a profound influence on the evolution of his aesthetics and on the occasions in which he takes his first steps into the world of art. In the spring of 2016 he was invited to paint at the Bastard Store in Milan, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Vans, a leading brand in youth street wear. In October 2018 he made his first solo show at the Don Gallery in Milan, presenting a corpus of abstract canvases in which an oil painted black background vibrates within color scales and frequencies sculpted on it.
The most intimate dimension of Turco’s painting is in total harmony with the evolutions he performs with the skateboard in
the metropolitan space in which he practices. His works have already been acquired by private collections both in Italy and abroad. He lives and works in Milan.
