Using mainly the painting technique, meant as a digestive practice of other languages, Oscar Giaconia’s work orbits around multiple constellations: the concepts of monster, stunt, trap and autopsy are just some of the keywords, (reversible at the transformative qualities of the painting medium), which have always accompanied the diversified research of the artist, characterized by the use of synthetic devices like silicone cases, vulcanite, nylon, para rubber, neoprene rubber.

Avvalendosi prevalentemente della pittura, intesa come pratica digestiva di altri linguaggi, il lavoro di Oscar Giaconia si satellizza intorno a molteplici aree di ricerca: i concetti di mostro, controfigura, autopsia e parassita sono solo alcune delle parole chiave, (reversibili alle qualità trasformative del media pittorico), che accompagnano da sempre la ricerca stratificata dell’artista, caratterizzata anche dall’utilizzo di dispositivi in-organici e sintetici quali teche di silicone, vulcanite, nylon, gomma para e neoprene.
