South African artist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marco Cianfanelli (born 30 November 1970) is a South African artist who has been involved in a wide range of projects involving art, architecture and public spaces.[1] Cianfanelli combines computer-generated, data-driven applications with human, expressive, gestural acts to create tension in his work. Cianfanelli is one of a handful of South African artists whose work successfully spans the public and domestic sphere.[2] He began his career painting landscapes and continues to be concerned with romanticized space and that which is marginalized through the very act of romanticizing.[2] Cianfanelli's slick, pared-down, iconographic recent works are intricately linked with the complexity of loving South Africa.[3]
