Francesco Sgarlata

(Catania - Italy, 1988)

Master’s Degree in Art History. Since 2019 he lives and works in Milan where he continues his artistic research focused on the link between the human individual and society, exploring different forms of expression between performances and installations, in addition to painting. In 2016 he received the Basilio Cascella Critics' Prize and a Special Mention to the Codice Citra. In 2022 he was awarded the prestigious Sciuti Prize.

The artist manifests a strong interest in environmental issues, addressed through pictorial cycles that allow a thorough and personal exploration of contemporary society. His poetics, with a strongly oriented focus to denunciation, aim to a 'concrete' vision of the community, highlighting the loss of human values.
