Cugusi creates an unknown autonomous and personal language, full of archaic and metaphorical meaning.
Siro Cugusi (1980) was born in Italy and currently lives in Sardinia. In his work he investigates the tension between the figurative and the abstract, offering a place of meditative introspection where beauty and mystery can be contemplated. Through paintings, sculptures and installations characterized by figures that no longer correspond to their given names nor respect traditional narratives, Cugusi creates an autonomous and personal language that is unknown, full of archaic and metaphorical meaning. Cugusi graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti (Sassari, Sardinia) in 2004. His recent solo exhibitions include: "Forest", Steve Turner Gallery, Los Angeles (2020); "A Saucerful of Secrets", Agencia de Transitos Culturales, Galeria ATC, Santa Cruz de Tenerife (2019); "Aleph", Annarumma Gallery, Naples (2018); "Secret Garden", Galleri KANT, Copenhagen (2018); and at the Lux Art Institute, Encinitas, California (2017). Recent group exhibitions include: "Like No Other", Annarumma Gallery, Naples (2018); "Alpenglühen - 100 years of Ettore Sottsass Jr."Belmacz", London (2018); "Recent Sculptures", Dobrinka Salzman Gallery, New York (2018); "Awkward", Anna Zorina Gallery, New York (2017); "Whet Ya Whistle", Galleri KANT, Copenhagen (2017); "Tom Dash and Siro", Dean Borghi Fine Art, New York (2016); and Mark Borghi Fine Art, New York (2015). Cugusi has exhibited several times at the Art Basel Miami Scope Artshow.
