The artist talk for November will be held in our Edinburgh Office. Born in Scotland 1977, Michael Visocchi studied sculpture at The Glasgow School of Art. In 2004 Visocchi was elected the youngest ever Academician of the Royal Scottish Academy. He exhibits widely across the UK and abroad, having won numerous awards and commissions for his work.
Visocchi is principally a sculptor but also employs photography, drawing and printmaking to investigate some more elusive 3-dimensional ideas. His practice is concerned with the development of stylised and pared down visual language, exploring issues surrounding our contemporary use of landscape. Fabricated from a variety of different materials such as wood, metal and using found objects, many of his works reference geological and scientific models and investiage scale and balance.
His is currently collaborating on a short film based on his photographic images and drawings, while also working with the University of Edinburgh designing new work for their Centre for Systems Biology.
Visocchi currently lives and works between Edinburgh and Kirriemuir, Angus.
