Nicolò Sertorio (1968, Princeton NJ USA) is an internationally exhibited artist with over 15 years of experience in visual storytelling.
Sertorio works in fine art photography, mixed media, collaboration, and conceptual art. His photos directly respond to the surrounding environment by emphasizing aesthetics and everyday experiences. Sometimes radiating a latent violence, these photographs show through their disconcerting beauty multiple layers of meaning. With his conceptual approach, Nicolò Sertorio investigates the dynamics of ‘landscape’ and ‘society’: how we relate to the environment around us based on cultural and social assumptions.
In past years he has lived for long periods of time in Italy, Switzerland, Ireland, Belgium, India, Germany and United States. Sertorio has thus a cosmopolitan understanding of contemporary issues that makes his perspective unique.
Sertorio’s work has won several important awards, including American Photography 35+33+32+30+29, International Color Awards 2018-16-15-14-13, International Landscape Photographer of the Year, Prix de la Photo Paris, among others.
His work has been featured in Wired Magazine, LensCulture, Kontura Art (Croatia), Domus, AdWeek, Time, Curator, Format, Fast Company, Feature Shoot, Google ChromeCast, and many more.
In 2017 and 2015 Nicolò Sertorio was recognized and selected as Critical Mass Top 50. In 2016 and 2017, solo exhibitions traveled across US (Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia) and Croatia (Koprivnica Art Gallery, Split Diocletian Palace, Virovitica Castle) museums.
Sertorio’s works tell a story about the effects of the interaction between self and others. His series are notable for their conceptual nature and the grand humanistic themes in his approach.
Nicolò Sertorio currently lives and works in Oakland (CA), USA. His work is represented by Scott Nichols gallery and San Francisco MOMA artist gallery.
