Demetrio Di Grado
Born in Palermo in 1976, after spending time in Hip Hop culture from 1994 to 2000, I was fascinated by art and especially by painting. In 2012 I founded ManSourcing, the association that started my artistic project: the promotion of art in all its possible forms. Thus began a path full of collaborations with numerous artists on the national and international scene, which I involved in exhibitions, street art projects and festivals.
​
The Collage: In 2016 I revolutionized my way of making art by starting to cut and glue every day using collage as a temporary tool of escape from my daily life in a continuous exploration of new cutting and interlocking techniques that over time has allowed me to build and refine that language and that stylistic code thanks to I am recognized and that represents me.
​
Research: The images, which I draw from magazines published between the 30s and the 60s that I archive with a real researcher, the sensations that they transmit and that belong to the period of the war and the post-war period; years of rebirth, hope and change. Images that in my projects remain intact in their identity but re-contextualized in a semantic updating process closer to the present day.
The eyes: In my works the figure is always at the center. Faces of men, women, children. On their eyes a message that passes through time until it reaches our present. A provocation, a reflection. Eyes that speak. My signature.
