Antonio Zuccon

About artist

Antonio Zuccon was born in Mogliano Veneto, although he lives and works in Treviso.

The brilliant and multifaceted artist, graduated in mathematics at the University of Padua and opera singer - pupil of the famous singing master Marcello Del Monaco and baritone comprimario who recorded live in Rovigo the opera "Una vita meravigliosa" by Nino Rota, who wrote many of the soundtracks of Fellini's films -, He approached photography in 1984, immediately establishing himself with an unmistakable personal style typical of the mathematician who breaks reality down into tiny colored frames, to then recompose them through geometric rigor (not for nothing is co-author of two volumes of geometry for high school, for the types of Atlas Edizioni of Bergamo). It was in 1998 that Antonio Zuccon published a volume of decomposition compositions entitled "Quadrigrafie ®", so much so that he was immediately considered one of the most creative photographers in Italy. Abstract worlds, those represented by the Trevisan by adoption, at the same time of great balance and lyricism. Refinement and dynamism characterize the images of the Venetian photographer. Lines, planes, surfaces and colors rationally dominate the space consisting of infinite numerical relationships shared according to personal plots, full of illusions and enchantments. Antonio Zuccon's eye succeeds in fact in dissecting everyday life and cataloguing it into thousands of tiles that serve, in a second moment, to give life to a new and subjective universe made up of an impalpable thread of relationships that connect his peculiar four juxtaposed shots and transform them into something else. His works, characterized by a formal structure definitely tending to abstract and two-dimensional, have been favourably reviewed by numerous specialized magazines including the most prestigious Zoom, Il Fotografo, FOTO cult, Fotografare, Reflex, Tutti fotografi and his works have been exhibited in several prestigious art galleries and sponsored by various public bodies such as the City of Cesenatico, Conegliano and Sestri Levante but also by the Cassamarca Foundation, and all the municipalities of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia protagonists of his works of art. And so it is the National Museum of Photography of Brescia to have awarded him, in 2011, the prize as "best Italian photographer of small villages". With the publisher Vianello Libri, Antonio Zuccon has edited ten important and significant volumes telling in his own way the magnificence of villages and corners of Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto. Many important companies such as Leica Italia, Fujifilm Italia, Fowa Hasselbland Torino, insurance companies and important car brands such as Mercedes and Fiat have believed in his creative essence, supporting him in projects and exhibitions. Among his personal exhibitions of great success we mention the five editions from 1999 to 2004 of "Quadrigrafie" and always in 2000 and 2001 the one entitled "Segni sognati" respectively at the Casa dei Carraresi in Treviso and at Palazzo Frisacco in Tolmezzo, and in 2000 "Arte e memoria" at Palazzo Orgnani Martina in Venzone. Finally, on 23 January 2009, the vernissage of "The spirit of the artist", at the Atelier Domenico Cattai always in Treviso.
