Maurizio Anzeri

Born in Italy in 1969, Maurizio Anzeri is a contemporary artist based in London. He is best known for his "photo-sculptures", in which he fuses photography and embroidery. A graduate of the Royal College of Art, his work explores the relationship between portraiture and abstraction, between the familiar and the strange. His creations are often described as a form of emotional archaeology, bringing forgotten images back to life through textile interventions. Her work is exhibited in numerous galleries and collections around the world, including the Saatchi Gallery in London and the Houston Center for Photography.
