GABRIELE DE SANTIS

Gabriele De Santis (Rome, 1983) is a conceptual artist and he gained his MA in Visual Arts at the University of Arts of London (2010). His research focuses on the ways in which an object can be liberated from its usual state and transposed into the realm of fine arts, taking into consideration and investigating the effects that inevitably this reintegration entails.
