Baptiste Caccia is an artist who begins with photography, then actively erases it. His style is built through the repetitive reproduction and layering of images onto canvas. This meticulous process transforms the original photograph, blurring the lines between reproduction and painting to create abstract compositions that emphasize visual memory and persistence.
Baptiste Caccia’s meticulously crafted paintings possess a poetic allure, existing in the ethereal space between abstraction and deliberate creation. The French artist continuously engages with the physicality of making, emphasizing the process and allowing for random instances rather than focusing strictly on a pre-selected image. This grants his work a strong sense of freedom, often resulting in an unintentional palette of minimal tones and contrasts. For Caccia, the canvas is not a fixed boundary, but a site that enables the creation of a new space within space.
