All auctions / Contemporary Art / Santicri - Revelation from Chaos, La Grande Onda di Kanagawa (No Reserve)


Santicri has participated in numerous art exhibitions of international standing. Among the most significant, in 2022 he exhibited his works at the prestigious Palazzo Grillo in Genoa, and in 2023 he was present at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, thus broadening his visibility in both national and international contexts. Santicri was recognised among the Best-Selling Artists of 2024 by Artmayeur, one of the most renowned platforms in the art world. In the same year, he was also listed among the top three most searched names on the Catawiki platform, another sign of the growing appreciation for his work. These accolades highlight the extraordinary talent and the ever-increasing visibility of Santicri in the contemporary art scene. Santicri Mixed media Dimensions: 20x20x2 cm The artwork is accompanied by a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity In Revelation from Chaos, Santicri continues the generative tension that animated Creation from Chaos, but pushes it beyond gesture and matter, toward the revelation of the image. The initial action — the golden eggs thrown onto the canvas — remains the founding symbol: an impulsive, unpredictable, vital act. But here, from the explosion of chaos, the form of color is no longer the only emergence; the memory of art itself arises. From the fragments, between cracks of paint and gold splinters, the face of an icon from the history of art materializes — as if the past is evoked by the collision with the present. The artwork thus becomes a metaphor for contemporary creation: painting not as construction, but as unveiling. From disorder arises what already existed in potency — the archetypal image, the cultural reference, the collective unconscious of beauty. The gold fragments take on a double value: residue of the original matter (the shell), but also a symbol of the sacred, of the light that pierces the disaster of form. It is as if Santicri were saying that art today can only be born by breaking itself, revealing itself through fracture. SHIPPING INSURED! The package is carefully packed, Artwork on canvas 350 g/m², mounted on a spruce wood frame. The artwork will be shipped with a random numbering. Frame not included. The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking behind icons such as Kaws and Banksy. His art stands out in an exclusive context that includes other categories of excellence, such as Rolex, Lego, Louis Vuitton, Porsche, Eames, Macallan, Tintin, Cartier, and Pokémon. A recognized talent not only for creative value but also as one of the most promising investments of the year. Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist followed a path that, between studies in Surveying and Architecture, led him to collaborate with an artisan sculptor in resin. There arose the increasingly strong need to find himself and unleash his creativity. His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe. His art is widely appreciated and cannot be missing among collectors of street art, pop art, and contemporary art paintings and sculptures. "It is never easy to classify one's art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me and to rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
