Maurizio Anzeri, the Italian born artist from the city of Loano, known for his series of eerie portraits or photo-sculptures, will be presenting his work this month at the Baltic and will mark his first solo show in a major UK institution. When travelling, Maurizio visits flea markets and collects photographs that are later transformed into pieces of art. His portraits maintain the quality of a photograph but are transformed into three-dimensional figures, prompting him to invent the term: ''photo-sculpture''. It is this three-dimensional element, achieved through embroidery and the form of intervention it brings that transforms the portraits into beautiful photo-sculptures.
