Andrea Bocca: Minimalist Heir Creates Cyanotype Works on Linen

Andrea Bocca, a minimalist artist from Crema, Italy, has created a new cover for Artribune Magazine #48. Bocca began as a graffiti writer at 15 and now produces modular, meticulously detailed works. Recently, he has been making large cyanotype prints on raw linen, a technique once used for architectural blueprints, sourced from industry websites. The resulting surfaces blend two-dimensionality with unexpected three-dimensional effects. The cover image originated from a workshop at Museo del Novecento with Marcello Maloberti, juxtaposing a museum guard with a construction worker, using industrial imagery of iron and orange handles. Bocca cites influences from rap music, Richard Sennett's "The Craftsman," and writings by Arturo Martini, Henry Moore, and Anthony Caro. He shares a studio with an artist friend and prefers working in the morning.
