Nico Mingozzi
Portomaggiore, 1976.Lives and works in Borghi
Nico Mingozzi was born in Portomaggiore (Fe) on 26th October 1976. He attended the art institute Dosso Dossi and obtained his diploma as master of Art. His works are made with Indian ink, acrylic, scratch and metal inserts.
Mingozzi’s work chooses photographic collecting as conceptual foundation; the patient collection of images, mostly in black and white, picked up by the bourgeois universe of the last century at its birth. They are bodies and faces of people now disappeared, severe puritanical and neo-Gothic looks as it was the era that saw them protagonists of involuntary passions contained in a most demanding social discipline. But the poetic tone of this selection is dominated by melancholy, by the idea of death and the anxieties it generates in faces and flesh.
