“CHANC Project 02” (2014)
Fresh from this summer’s “Portraits from the Stockroom” exhibition at BIASA Artspace in Seminyak, Marco Cassini is a man to watch. Carrying a distinct artistic flair, he draws inspiration from many cultures, including Indonesia. Talented both on and off the canvas, photography is just one of his creative outlets. If you missed out on Cassini at the Seminyak exhibition, he exhibits again in Ubud this August to September.
Hi Marco, please tell us a bit about yourself. 
Well, I was born 1981 in Milan and studied Fine Art in Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera before graduating in 2006. I began by painting before developing interests in other mediums like photography, video and art event management which combine performance, conceptual and participatory art.

“Wake Up” (2008)
What did you want to communicate through your artwork at BIASA? 
At this kind of exhibition, multiple artists will have an opportunity to reflect on the same concept. It’s always great to see the different approaches of each artist and how a new dialogue can be portrayed through each piece. Saying that, I’m currently very interested in seeing how people portray me, how they translate my work into meaning.

“Encounters in Lapindo Land” (2011)
Who is your artistic role model? 
Truth be told, I don’t have one in particular. My source of inspiration changes constantly depending on what I am studying. Currently, my sources of inspiration are Jeremy Deller and Oliver Larics Jeremy Deller uses people as a tool to create his art with amazing results while Oliver Laric cleverly describes and represents contemporary society in his art.
How do you see the progress of art in Indonesia? 
Indonesian art lovers prefer paintings over other mediums and the same is true for my work. Now is currently a good period for Asian contemporary art in general. With its rich culture heritage, Indonesian art is developing fast and is starting to be recognized internationally.

Do you think artistic skill can be taught or is it more to do with natural talent? 
Both however I believe that we need to study art and culture. The more we know and the more ranges of choice we explore to express our message, the better we can communicate.
Marco Cassini’s next exhibition is on August 16 to September 13 at Rumah Topeng dan Wayang, Ubud, Bali (<a href="http://www.topengwayang.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.topengwayang.com</a>)
