Mold marble and stone, Jacopo Cardillo.
Jacopo Cardillo, known as JAGO, is an Italian artist who works in the field of sculpture, graphics and video production. He was born in 1987 in Frosinone, Italy, where he attended the art school and then the Academy of Fine Arts (left in 2010).
Since 2016, the year of his first solo exhibition in the Italian capital, he has lived and worked in Italy, China and America (he has been a guest professor at the New York Academy of Art). He currently lives and works in Naples.
JAGO has received numerous national and international awards such as: the Pontifical Medal (conferred to him by Cardinal Ravasi on the occasion of the Pontifical Academies award in 2010), the Monte Carlo Gala de l'Art award in 2013, the Pio Catel award in 2015, the Arte Fiera Audience Award in 2017 and he also received the investiture as Master of Stone at the 2017 MarmoMacc.
At the age of 24, on the recommendation of the art historian Maria Teresa Benedetti, he was selected by professor. Vittorio Sgarbi and will participate in the 54th edition of the Venice Biennale, Italian Pavilion - Rome - Palazzo Venezia, where he showed the marble bust of Pope Benedict XVI (2009) for which he received the Pontifical Medal the same year.
This early sculpture was then reworked in 2016, taking the name of "Habemus Hominem" and becoming one of his most significant works. It depicts the stripping of the Pope emeritus of his vestments and was exhibited in Rome, in 2018, at the Carlo Bilotti Museum in Villa Borghese, with a record number of visitors (more than 3,500 during the inauguration alone).
Following an exhibition at the Armory Show in Manhattan, JAGO moved to New York. Here begins the creation of the "Veiled Son", a work inspired by the Veiled Christ by Sanmartino, permanently exhibited inside the Cappella dei Bianchi in the Church of San Severo outside the walls.
He is a young Italian contemporary sculptor who thanks to an innovative approach and to surreal or pop culture-related subjects has re-emphasized his interest in a form of art tied in our imagination to classical tradition.
JAGO seems to have the ability to mold marble and stone, to make them soft as plasticine and transform them into living materials, made of meat, muscle and blood. It reveals the hidden soul and at the same time reshapes them to contemporary languages.
His works are technical exercises and experiments on the perception of matter. He plays on mass and tactile sensation, on the physical properties of the material he uses, showing it soft or elastic, light or heavy, liquid and solid.
He digs it to show us what it hides, to discover its various organic layers.
In addition to work on matter, what is astonishing is the approach to an art form that plays with the concept of memory and its relationship with time, which allows to create works that are contemporary and eternal.
His artistic research occupies a broad conceptual framework that has its roots in the techniques inherited from the Renaissance masters, aiming to establish a relationship with the public through the use of videos and social networks, through which he shares the production process of his works.
