Robert F. DeCaprio Art
Gallery
MarcAnthony Polizzi’s work uses a process of reconstruction and
unification to examine the domesticated chaos of the postconsumer world.
Marc-Anthony Polizzi was born May of 1983 in Utica NY. In 2002 He attended PRATT at Munson William Proctor Institute of Art concentrating in sculptural work. Two years later he transferred to the NY State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. While at Alfred Marc-Anthony studied large scale glass casting under the instruction of Steven Dee Edwards. Upon graduation in 2005 he took a position as a cold worker for his once professor. One year later through a series of unfortunate events Marc-Anthony found himself working as an online brazier. Determining that the real world was no place to live he applied to Tulane University to study under the glass sculptor Gene Koss. Three weeks after entering graduate school Marc-Anthony was married to his long time sweetheart Cindy Gurecki. After graduation he moved to Kansas City to set up his studio and take a stab at this art thing.

STATEMENT FROM THE ARTIST
In installations such as In Over My Head I use a process of reconstruction and unification to examine the domesticated chaos of the post consumer world.
My work is not so much a release from past experiences but a page marker. Both an organizational system for storing, and a visual cue to help me remember personal events. These life occurrences from the complex to the mundane, create a never ending stream of clutter which if left unchecked would eventually crush me.
The Monochromatic Series consist of a loose narrative based on both my physical and emotional state. Personal situations and thought processes create a jumping-off point for these sometimes whimsical, often overbearing installations. The objects used are stripped of their material, leaving only shape, size, placement and texture to influence the viewer. Each item is chosen for its relevance and emotional impact to the underlying narrative.
