comes from a small town near Naples, Sapri, in the South of Italy. He studied fine arts at the Art Academy of Naples. In the early stages of his artistic evolution, Accardi’s focus gravitated towards the representation of the human body, woven with elements of pictorial and symbolic art. This thematic underpinning remained a constant thread in all of his collections. Where he skillfully illustrates surreal visions of everyday life against the realistic backdrops of urban landscapes. During this period, he gravitated towards abstraction and the works of artists such as Emilio Vedova and Alberto Burri, whose energy he later sought to convey in his own work. Towards the end of the 1980s, he persistently focused on marble sculpture, rekindling his passion for Greek and Roman classics.

In the course of his artistic development, Accardi has been on a constant search for new sensations. Using mixed media to depict figures against differing social backgrounds. His artistic research focuses on figuration with a social background, engaging in the discovery of hidden human sensations. His works present magical urban and interior landscapes, the result of a sophisticated system of painting and vision that fascinates and surprises viewers. Over the last three decades, Angelo Accardi’s artistic trajectory has taken a compelling turn, leading him to contemplate social representations in collections such as Misplaced, Human Collection, and Blend. These collections serve as windows into the contradictions inherent in daily existence, employing commonplace objects and settings to create scenes that resonate with the viewer. Through a nuanced blend of humor, symbolism, and homage to artistic predecessors, Accardi captures the essence of culture, history, and even offers glimpses into the future. In 2006, he came into contact with the avant-garde group “Tantarte” and exhibited in Shanghai. In the same year, he was the protagonist of a traveling exhibition around Florence (Italy), Innsbruck (Austria), Barcelona (Spain), and Budapest (Hungary). Meanwhile, critical and collector interest in Angelo Accardi’s work grew both in Italy and abroad, leading him to participate in more and more exhibitions, both personal and collective, spanning continents, and to exhibit in the most prestigious galleries. His artistic prowess earned him an invitation to exhibit at the Italian Pavilion during the 54th Venice Biennial, selected by the art historian Marco Vallora, showcasing his Misplaced works. In 2017, the Art Gallery Zanini Arte dedicated a solo exhibition to Angelo Accardi titled “Misplaced…Blend,” curated by Prof. Giuseppe Marrone. This exhibition provided a platform for art enthusiasts to delve into the depths of Accardi’s unique artistic language. Offering a closer look at his thematic explorations and the intricate nuances that define his creations. In 2022, he promoted a public art project with the simultaneous installation of “Poetry” in Milan, Palermo, and Venice, a liberating cry that brings the human being back to the center. In 2023, an exhibition in Dubai further consolidated his international presence. In 2024, he exhibited in the 60th Venice Biennale, at the Camerun Pavilion, with the work “Icarus’ Dream,” themed around migrants and a solo show in Palazzo Donà dalle Rose.
