ABOUT
GUMM (born 1969) is an anonymous Italian artist, best known for his trademark "crushed" technique.Self-taught photographer he celebrates mass-produced consumer products related to entertainment and references the Pop art roots of these works. His interest has focused on vintage comics and magazines of the most enduring and recognizable characters of the twentieth century, keeping homesickness and feelings to them connecte. Combining mega-realistic photography techniques, he represents iconic symbols revisited in a contemporary key through the use of new colors and shapes. His sculptural work focuses on expressing on canvas the maximum definition and depth that for him is the surface, the compressed and crushed matter folded by the artist's hand gives the work abstract forms that suggest movement and a sense of transformation that goes beyond the fragility of the paper objects that alludes to the passage of time.
