Alex Cecchetti
° 1977
Lives in Paris (France).
A Frenchman of Italian descent, Cecchetti is a modern artist that has mastered the art of nuance and fine emotions, mostly through performance art, but also occasionally turning to other media, such as painting, drawing, video, photography and objects. At the core of his creations are myths and stories that he has authored himself. In his works, the artist makes up modern-day fairy tales which he then corrects, tears down, and then retells from the beginning, again and again. Cecchetti makes us believe that his works are alive and changing; he does this in his paintings by, for instance, using dripping paint.
