Andrea Astolfi (Atri, 1990) is a visual artist, writer, and self-taught avant-gardist. His research spans painting and writing, with works such as kireji (2020) and ku (2022), artist’s books crafted with eco -friendly materials and artisanal bindings. He has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including A te venendo in Milan (2024) and Ti bacio molto in Pescara (2024), the latter inspired by a love letter found in a travel guide.
Astolfi has also created public art interventions, such as shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh in Atri (2020), where he covered advertising spaces with white posters, prompting reflection on art and urban space. In 2024, he participated in the Premio Combat Prize with Gli occhi cavati del generale (Celebrativo), a painting that explores the theme of war through an ironic yet dramatic pictorial language.
He is also the co-founder of the avant-garde movement Liminalismo and has curated columns for magazines such as Utsanga and NiedernGasse.
