With the eye of a sculptor and the precision of a surgeon, Marco Maggi has gained international recognition by creating abstract and detailed drawings using common materials (paper, plexiglass, aluminum foil…), pencils, and a sharp blade.

The result of his meticulous, analog art is both cryptic and fascinating. On a formal level, by engraving shapes or cutting them out, the artist adds a third dimension to his drawings and composes as a sculptor would, using light, shadow and space, negative and positive. On a semantic level, with a detailed grammar, Marco Maggi depicts a world driven by minute elements. However, although the larger picture of his works seems to reveal systemic patterns or comprehensive plans (reminiscent of models of electrical circuits, information technology, or urban maps), the artist’s vision of our world resists notions of order and predictability. Its details are seen as fundamental protagonists, continuously and randomly shaping our environment (physical, biological, technical, social, etc.).
