franco CUTTICA
-
Franco Cuttica’s work of art has an undeniably close connection to nature.
Just as wood floats down the river and trails from coast to coast, Franco Cuttica moves his particular vision of art, marking the path of his cosmopolitan career. His monumental works—whether horses, portraits, or elemental forms—demand a complex and adventurous creative process, where limits are crossed, and borders expanded.
At the age of 6, his family emigrated to the US. After attending various schools in NYC, he moved to East Hampton to study at Ross School, a unique institution governed by Zen Buddhist principles. Immersed in a forest environment, Franco experienced an intense connection with nature, which would become the driving force of all his work.
Franco’s art spans multiple mediums to express the cycles of nature and what he calls “the flat circularity of time.” His renowned Driftwood series extends this concept: wood traveling from distant lands—like Africa—reaches Long Island’s shores and is transformed into sculptures that fuse natural forces with human intervention.
His process is meticulous: from scouting materials via Google Earth, to collecting driftwood, drafting models, and assembling works like puzzle pieces. Fire and water often become part of the ritual, cleansing and reshaping the object into a renewed expression. Franco blends sculpture, performance, and photography, creating works where silence, strength, and fragility coexist.

ISADORA CAPRARO

Isadora Capraro (b. 1994, Italy) received a classical art education in Buenos Aires before relocating to the United States. Her large-scale, emotionally charged paintings explore subconscious imagery, personal mythology, and psychological space.
Her practice draws from dreams, literature, and archetypal symbols to create visual narratives around femininity, sensuality, and resilience. Capraro’s work often portrays figures suspended in liminal moments, set against vivid, textural backdrops that evoke a dreamlike environment. She currently lives and works in the U.S., with works held in private collections across the Middle East, Europe, North and South America. -
Capraro has held solo exhibitions such as Memories of an Imagined World (Chashama, NYC, 2022), Body of Water (Consulate of Argentina, NYC, 2023), and Evocation (Gambit Works, New York, 2024).
