Pisciotta Federico was born in Rome on 30 October 1975. He graduated in 1993 at the VI Art School in Rome and in 1997 in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, with Nunzio Solendo and Sandro Trotti. After teaching for several years in the capital, he devoted himself exclusively to painting and contemporary art research.
From 2013 lives and works in Fara in Sabina, at his studio "700Artecontemporanea".
He has participated in group exhibitions, solo and international exhibitions in Italy and abroad exposing at some prestigious public spaces such as the Foundation Museum Venanzo Crocetti in Rome, the Stables of Aragona Palace in Vasto, CH, the DAP1 Gallery in Warsaw and Halle 50 at the DomagkAteliers in Monaco of Bavaria.
Ultimately exhibited at International Fairs in New York, Miami, San Diego, Santa Fe, and the Hamptons.
One of his latest projects, introduced in Germany in 2014, employs a personal process of painting review, supported by multimedia interactions that recall the obsessive presence of the informatics iconography.
The main subjects staged are taken from the most famous video game player, some created through hybridization between characters of historical and virtual matrix, then placed in a totally alien context to the videogame narrative but easily attributable to our post-social habits.
Its videoplayer in plexiglass, backlit by RGB led lamps, distort the balance of traditional painting, creating a transition space of the picture that underlines the precariousness and the illusions of the post-modern society.
