Lo stato di passaggio

Matteo Capobianco, also known as Ufocinque, was born in Novara in 1981.
Originally active in the Italian graffiti and street art scene, he later explored a broader definition of art while pursuing his design studies at the Politecnico di Milano. Regardless of the context, the foundation of the artist’s work is rooted in the art of the past. After working as a set designer for various Italian theaters, he began creating art installations, blending design methods with set design and using hand-cut paper as his signature material. The murals he creates are dotted with symbols and iconography, creating a hidden layer of meaning.
