Vincenzo Muratore is a sculptor, designer, poet and performer based in London. ‘Rooted in his Sicilian heritage and a social science and international cooperation background, his practice explores identity, psychological transformation and the tensions between the visible and invisible.’ His practice merges traditional materials, like marble, fusing traditional and contemporary multimedia processes – digital modelling, incising and printing on surfaces.
He explores multifarious medium – sculpture, poetry, and installation, using processes that signify meaning within the work. For instance, he engraves or prints texts on sculptural materials, alluding to ‘memory’s fragility, erosion and resistance’. Markings and performances become rituals ‘uncovering stratification and ascent’, in their psychological tenure and movement. So, the processes’ presentation becomes a dialogue between the artist, artwork and perceiver.
His material and conceptual language embraces ‘fragility, trauma, memory and the social processes of burying memory,’ informed by ‘his experience as a queer and neurodiverse individual.’
Muratore is a lecturer in Foundation Art at the University of East London and collaborates with the Royal College of Art. He won the Arte Laguna prize 2025. He has exhibited across the UK and Italy and works with institutions such as Bow Arts, Ballymore, and the Trinita della Pace Community in Sicily. He holds an MA in Sculpture, from the Royal College of Art (2024) and is a member of the Royal Society of Sculptos.
