If you would like to learn more about the artist's entire artistic activity, please visit giorgiandrea.com Biography: Andrea Giorgi (1974), born in Italy, worked first as an interior designer for 10 years and then as a megayacht interior designer for 12 years. He was one of the first Italian digital artists to exhibit his works at international fairs and exhibitions since 2008. Some of his artworks decorate the luxurious halls of prestigious yachts. One of his pieces was purchased by Ferrero, thus becoming part of an important private collection of international contemporary art. A digital sculptor since 2016, his sculptures are scattered all over the world. Andrea Giorgi was one of the first sculptors to sell on Catawiki, establishing himself since 2016 with his boxers, characters emerging from magazines and walls, and his lattice sculptures—all of which are now offered in variations and reinterpretations by various artists on Catawiki and other platforms. Generally opposed to much of the current pop art and street art trend, where too many artists nowadays buy sculptures (unfortunately often Chinese) only to color them and add famous logos without at least specifying that they did not create the sculpture themselves, Giorgi designs all of his sculptures entirely using 3D techniques. He then prints them in Italy using different technologies (from the simplest and cheapest plastic jet to the most complex and expensive laser prints). The laser sculptures are then hand-colored by the artist. Finally, he collaborates with a renowned Italian foundry to produce his most exclusive series: lost-wax bronzes. Unlike most contemporary artists looking for quick success by trying to maximize the number of pieces created and overall sales, Giorgi's philosophy, learned from working for several years in the luxury industry, is "LESS IS MORE." His annual production and sales are deliberately very limited, both regarding the creation of new pieces and his weekly sales on Catawiki. Furthermore, today it is almost impossible to buy something at his auctions without a reserve price. This is due both to the high production cost of most of his sculptures, which does not allow them to be "undersold," and to safeguard the value of the sculptures already sold. In this way, the sculptures end up in the hands of collectors who almost never resell them except after several years, effectively avoiding purely speculative purchases. Andrea Giorgi's sculptures are also virtually hard to find as they are currently exclusive to Collection, a contemporary art gallery founded in 2015 by Giorgi himself. The gallery features works by promising young Italian and European artists as well as historical artists including Rabarama, Walter Valentini, Piero Gilardi, Aubertin, Roberta Coni, Annalù Boeretto, Salvatore Provino, Paolo Radi, Ceribelli, Giuseppe Amadio, Riccardo Gusmaroli, Giorgio Gost, Invader, Kaws, etc. Certificate of Authenticity Provenance: COLLECTION, Contemporary Loft Art Gallery, Ancona, Italy Shipping method: insured international courier PLEASE NOTE, we cannot ship to Russia, Belarus, and China.
