Agostino Iacurci, born in Foggia in 1986, is an Italian artist internationally recognised for his works ranging from painting to murals, from sculpture to drawing and installation.
He currently lives and works in Berlin.
Education and Early Career
Iacurci studied visual arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, where he developed a figurative language characterised by a strong graphic component and an immediate visual impact.
His works are characterised by simple lines, essential shapes and flat colours that bring contemporary fairy-tale characters to life.
Style and Themes
Iacurci's art is based on synthetic shapes and bright colours, using an essential language that allows multiple levels of interpretation. His works explore themes such as innocence and artifice, serenity and catastrophe, creating a magnetic tension that reflects the complexity of human existence.
The subtle irony in his works invites viewers to reflect on the delicate and complex symbioses triggered by seemingly simple actions.
Projects and Collaborations
In 2009, Iacurci created a 300-metre mural for the Saba school in Algeria, demonstrating his ability to transform public spaces through art.
In 2011, he participated in the ‘Rebibbia on the wall’ project, collaborating with inmates of the Rebibbia prison in Rome to create murals inside the maximum security ward.
These projects highlight his commitment to engaging different communities through public art.

Iacurci has exhibited his works in numerous solo and group exhibitions internationally. Recent solo exhibitions include ‘Dry Days, Tropical Nights’ at the Torre Treves in Milan (2023), ‘Alien Horti Picti’ at the Robert Grunenberg Gallery in Berlin (2023) and ‘Of My Abstract Gardening’ at Ex Elettrofonica in Rome (2022).
He has also participated in major group exhibitions such as the ‘Urban Art Biennale’ at the Völklinger Hütte, European Centre for Art and Industrial Culture (2017), and ‘Cross the Streets’ at MACRO in Rome (2017).
In 2019, he received the New York Prize, sponsored by MiBACT, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy, the Italian Cultural Institute of New York, the Italian Academy at Columbia University and the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP).
In 2024, he was awarded the XXII Ermanno Casoli Prize, an acknowledgement that underlines his significant contribution to contemporary art.
