This publication gathers together images shot both in the artist’s studio and his exhibition at La Piscina, along with a curatorial text. Going beyond the concept of a catalogue, i t is thus a book both by and for the artist: a permanent area of his personality and artistic being.“Ako Atikossie chooses the mass of water surrounding the lands and continents we inhabit (…). Yet we humans often take the marine presence for granted. This is the central theme of his solo exhibition, treating the subject with the same attention as scholars and researchers who are turning their gaze to the ocean as a source of strategic new raw materials to fuel technological progress.” - Samuele MeninAko Atikossie's painting and installation technique analyses the potential relationships between technology, matter and natural resources, expressed through an abstract language. In his artistic practice he investigates and explores the transformations and the new scenarios of the contemporary sciences.The artists is based between Milan (Italy) and Lomè (Togo). Show more
