Who is Andrea Cantieri?
Andrea Cantieri was born in Catania on the 21 st August 1975 where he still lives and works. A musician, strongly influenced and inspired by the world of jazz, he has made his mark from his own binomial artistry which unites sound and vision with unique purity.
Self-taught, Cantieri has concentrated his research from his early beginnings in the study of the figure, perpetually striving to haze the outlines.
The figure emerges from the strident contrast and the large, free and nervous pictorial gesture.
Jazz is his acquired style of life, the improvisation comes from deep within himself. The synthesis is the pictorial achievement in a deduced configuration which opens the space to the imagination.
There are various prominent locations that are exhibiting Cantieri’s works, such as:
- Teatro Massimo Vincenzo Bellini in Catania, Sicily,
- Contemporary Art Gallery in Vizzini, Sicily,
- Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri in Rome, Italy,
- Palazzo Chigi in Rome, Italy, and
- Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame Museum in City of Birmingham, Alabama, USA.
