Artist
Part of events on ArtRabbit in: London
Giacomo Bevanati, born in 1984, is an Italian artist who since an early stage felt interesting in the visual perception of the volumes, light, transparencies, light materials, and how the eyes treat the mind with a thoughtful use of them. Bachelor in Product Design and a Master's degree in Architecture provided him all the technical aspects of the use of strengths, understanding of the materials and 3D modelling. Once he has the technical knowledge and the belief of creating art, the material to choose was the step to follow. The aim of using a simple material with shining properties became stronger. After an examination of different materials, the decision was to use brass and steel wire. Creating a net of sewed wire with specific patrons, using the strengths and making reinforcements to create shapes and curvatures what leads into final sculptures and models. The process followed during the last four years has been an autodidactic process of discovering how the weight, the tensions and the structure of the net can get transformed into an art piece.
