Working with materials including sand, iron, paper, and jute combined with acrylic paint, Pasquale Rapicano creates multi-material works distinguished by his use of rust as a metaphor for damage in the world. Alternating between human and animal figures, his art moves between construction and destruction, often layering vivid detail with expressive faces that capture fleeting emotions. Born in Castellammare di Stabia, Rapicano’s practice channels both personal and societal unrest, resulting in works marked by intensity and emotional immediacy.
