Denicolai & Provoost
Simona Denicolai (1972, Milan, IT) and Ivo Provoost (1974, Diksmuide, BE).
The two artists Simona Denicolai & Ivo Provoost are working together in Brussels since 1997.
Denicolai & Provoost withdraw from all forms of elite artistic mechanisms and take up an art that is serious and exact and which almost, in a sociological sense, observes and analyzes economic and social realities. These observations then manifest themselves in almost playfully touching and seemingly simply developed pictures that permit the underlying complexities to shine through.
Their work incorporates the entire spectrum of media coverage opportunities as tools of their artistic strategy.(Konstanze Shütze).
