Born in Italy in 1974. Lives and works in London.
He received his MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art and is currently a teacher at the London College of Communication.
His artistic signature is photo-etching, but he works across a range of media such as collage, animation and video. Arancio’s main interest lies in the potential of images. Departing from their literal meaning, he creates new juxtapositions that are both beautifully evocative and deeply disquieting. He looks to nature and science for his sources of inspiration, while unsettling any hint of the sublime by re-framing the images and the viewer’s experience. His constructed landscapes contain a sense of both the familiar and the unknown that enhances their symbolic readings and implications.
