Artist info

Ruco

Ruco was born in Rome in 1991 and he has been drawing since he can remember. During high school, he began to take an interest in the world of tattooing and approached this job as soon as he finished school. Ruco began tattooing in 2012 in Florence, while studying Art Printing Techniques at the Academy of Fine Arts and he began receiving invitations as a guest in several studios around the world: Mexico, Israel, Honk Hong... His figurative style is the result of numerous influences from the most different fields. The main thread is related to the taste for the grotesque. Passionate about masks, he made them a source of research, producing them by hand. In addition to his own tattoo studio in the heart of Rome, Ruco pursues his other passions in a small private studio where he finds his space to create masks and costumes, model clay, paint, and so on. In 2018 Ruco brought out the research project related to the theme of the tattoo ritual "STILLIFE BRÜCKE" in collaboration with Servadio: 4-handed sessions in which the surrounding environment becomes the subject of the tattoo, whether it is a predefined and static composition or a changing and dynamic situation. In this way, the subject is not previously decided nor born from the imagination of the artists but represents what you have in front of your eyes during the ritual. Ph. Credits: Shyla Nicodemi

More info

The idea for “Varsi Workwear” collection was born from the garments that we have produced over time for the activities that we carry out in our laboratory and that, starting from today, we have the opportunity to share with all of you.

This collection of work jackets was created as part of Varsi’s artist residency project. In fact, during these, each artist worked on the decoration of a jacket, thus making it a unique garment.

The medium for the entire collection consists of vintage jackets used by French railroad workers. It is a blue jacket with a button closure to which three pockets are applied.

Labels designed by She.Lab are hand-sewn on each jacket by Alessia Di Pasquale (Dipa).

The project is curated by Base/34
