Adriano CostaCarrossel, 2023

About the artist

Adriano Costa explores consumption, fashion, horror, and society’s anxieties by juxtaposing a collection of objects with abstract yet often realistic sculptural forms. Working across a range of materials and media – including sculpture, assemblage, drawing, painting, and installation – Costa’s work emerges as a sharp commentary on social class, popular culture, music, and youth. Throughout Costa’s practice, there is a deep engagement with reality that relies on tragic irony rather than originality within the creative process. He stretches a reflection on the true value of a work of art, probing the question of how common or even noble materials can be transmuted into an art object and vice versa.
