Milan-based artist Isabella Cuccato has been named as the final foundational artist for 2019 as part of Acoufelt’s Acoustic Art Project. Ms Cuccato has joined a prestigious collective of internationally acclaimed and emerging artists including Alejandro Avakian, Helene Hardy, Drew Harrison, Frank Chinea Inguanzo, Takuro Kuwabara and Ross Morgan.
“The foundational artists have been selected to reflect a broad range of artistic traditions”, says Karina Deboar, Product Director at Acoufelt. “Isabella brings a classical style that rounds out our collection, the perfect artist for the closing of the 2019 period.”
Isabella Cuccato was born in 1947 in Treviso, Italy, and studied architecture in Milan and Venice, where she graduated with Aldo Rossi in 1978. Working as an architect for around a decade, in 1986 Isabella decided follow her long-standing passion and devote herself to painting. Isabella now paints on panels and canvas, both for walls and ceilings, using oils and other techniques.
Her paintings, reflecting a more direct and personal breed of research, have been developed alongside works carried out on commission destined for houses, public places and expositions. Isabella has painted the interiors of numerous buildings in Italy and abroad, as well as large commissions for shows, exhibitions and fairs.
“Isabella was clearly influenced by the stunning Renaissance fresco art that would have surrounded her as a student in Milan and Venice during her formative years”, says Karina. “The selecting curators were particularly impressed with the way Isabella uses perspective and drapery as if she was painting at the height of the renaissance. In many ways, I see a bit of Carlo Crivelli when I look at her paintings”.
