Born in Malo, a small country town in the province of Vicenza in northern Italy on 05/01/1996, Fochesato Simone is attending the fourth year of the three-year course at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice in the area of Graphic Art - engraving techniques. In addition to being a student, in 2023 Fochesato was elected assistant to the teacher in the chalcographic printing laboratory directed by Professor Andrea Serafini and in the laboratory dedicated to lithography directed by Professor Stefano Mancini. During his career he has participated in several Italian and European awards dedicated to chalcographic engraving where his works have been selected. A succession of constant experimentation both practical and theoretical leads Fochesato increasingly to associate the geometric structure for the construction of a human body with that which could be used for the creation of architecture, sacred and otherwise. One could imagine a sort of timeline with peaks and falls, where man is placed at the beginning and architectural art at the end. With these two closely related terms, Fochesato keeps in mind the importance that these two elements had in past eras, which gradually merged more and more. Little by little, man leaves space for the building, he is absorbed by it. Human proportions, his experience, his soul are reflected by the load-bearing walls of a house, a church or a public building, where encrustations, cracks, subsidence and renovations become a metaphor and synonym for those men who live in buildings day by day. Although it all started thanks to the result of a technical error in the execution, it is with it that graphically, from then on, metabolizing what happened, Fochesato began to develop and insert into subsequent works the symbolic gesture of the marbled, the mosaic and the craquelé both positive and negative, in short what gives completeness and soul to architectural structures. A completely white wall, smooth, without imperfections or wear does not reflect its past, does not bring out its beauty, becomes something timeless, reproducible. But if that same wall has veins, more or less deep cracks, pieces and traces of corrosion, then it will fully express its past, its use, what it has seen in its long years of immobility in a certain place. This is the charm of imperfection, and why not, of error.
