(Figline Valdarno, 1961)
Luca Pancrazzi was born in 1961 in Figline Valdarno; he lives and works in Milan. Since the 1990s, he is the author of artistic parcours based on the analysis of the medium of art, on the creative possibilities of error and the composite use of techniques and materials. His work frequently recurs to the forms of the natural and metropolitan landscape, wrought with an intense and continuous activity of observation.
