Active in graphic and photography since the early years of college, Corrado Uccello began working on digital photo manipulation in 2008, initially representing “unlikely realities”, that is “imagining to open a window on a parallel world, where the rules as we know are totally subverted”.
At first he used the graphic and narrative tecnique close to the comics and advertising world, often drawing on images from the Internet.
Thereafter he has undertaken various projects especially oriented to reality alteration, to completely change the meaning of the images, providing alternative interpretations and often antonymous. His goal is to find in our surroundings “a different order”.
He realizes images that bring to certain uneasiness that involve and displace the viewer. Away from using metaphors, Corrado Uccello is for a direct photography, sometimes brutal in meaning. Wise and accurate photographic compositions that the artist defines "real counterfeits".
This feature is particularly emblematic in the project "In the Void", where he works on images strongly real, to obtain that degree of tension necessary to make the figures falling from the indefinite movement, as if to freeze the instant of the fall and cause a surge of empathy in the viewer.
He currently is focused on exploration of the fears and collective phobias, on reflection about the difficult task of getting used to the fear itself, to become (perhaps) immune too.
