Cucchi is a central figure in the Transavanguardia movement of the 1980s, Italy's answer to Neo-expressionism. His large-scale oil paintings are characterized by their simple, almost primitively depicted images rendered in vivid, dramatic colors, and he was once described by the New York Times as an "artist who waves his paintbrush like a magician's wand."

Cucchi's textured surfaces and instinctual charcoal lines can resemble cave paintings, and indeed much of his imagery includes primitive tools, livestock, flames, and eyes. A writer as well as a self-taught artist, he often exhibits his works along with poetic verses he himself has composed.
Some of Cucchi's artworks visitors can see at the exhibition.
Born in the province of Ancona in 1949, Cucchi went on to befriend other artists of the Transavanguardia movement he met in Rome, such as Francesco Clemente, Sandro Chia and Mimmo Paladino. Like his fellow Transavanguardians, Cucchi's earth tone compositions are infused with violence. The confidence in gesture and colors lend his tableaux immediacy and drama. His works have been exhibited at prominent institutions worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate in London, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
The exhibition will last until May 13.
