Context

The wall at the entrance to the city became an occasion for artistic reflection on hospitality and family life, both important elements in Tatar culture.

In what, if not in tea drinking, is hospitality embodied, linking the traditions of the present and the past? Another connection between eras, those of traditional culture and Soviet architecture, can be found in how everyday Tatar life of different centuries looked. As such, typical concrete ornamentation on the walls of Almetyevsk houses of the 1970s is in sync with embroidery of the 19th century from the collection of the State Museum of Fine Arts of the Republic of Tatarstan.
Ornament on embroidery. Collection of the State Museum of Fine Arts of Tatarstan Republic.

Agostino Iacurci feels equally confident on the streets of various cities in the world and in the gallery space. Distinctive features of his style are bright colors, simplified forms, conciseness combined with expressiveness. Since 2007, he has actively participated in group exhibitions in Europe, Asia and America, and since 2012 he has held seven personal exhibitions in various European countries and Australia. In 2013, Agostino painted a 21-story building in Taipei, and created a monumental painting in Moscow on Goncharnaya Embankment as part of the LGZ Festival (The Best City on Earth). In 2014-2015, his gallery works could also be seen in Moscow as part of the first Biennale of Street Art «Artmossphere» and #project64 at the VDNH Exhibition.
Working on the mural, 2017.
«Immobile», Ragusa (Sicily, Italy), 2016.
