Jacopo Mandich

Originally from Rome but adopted in Turin, Jacopo Mandich graduated in sculpture from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome in 2005 and the following year won the Edgardo Mannucci award. In 2014 he presented two solo exhibitions in Rome: Cosmogonie at the Varsi gallery and A ferro e fuoco at the FABER art gallery. In 2015 he attended the biennial specialization courses at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Urbino and in Turin. In the same year he was invited, as the first Italian artist, to the Ural Biennale in Russia. In 2018 he attended the Master’s program in Sculpture at the Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule in Halle, University of Art and Design in Halle, Germany. In 2019 he developed the project Forze invisibili, a pentalogy of exhibitions composed of a series of traveling installations (Jackal project, Connessioni, Levitatis bellum, Space, Hug), in which he explores all those hidden and intangible energies that move human beings. In 2021 he published his first illustrated project, the graphic novel 'El volador‘ (FABER editions), integrating painting and sculpture in an immersive journey.
