Alberto Quoco

Italian artist Alberto Quoco experiments with photography to create absorbing, communicative images. Whether working with analog or digital, Quoco explores the boundaries of photography by producing works with myriad aesthetics, each different from the next. Some photographs are thoroughly Realist, focusing in vivid detail on objects such as a worn pair of shoes or a composed still-life scene. Others border on dreamlike, tracing seemingly random rays of light or a person’s glowing outline against a dark background. Still other photographs appear as a collage of sorts, blending and swirling multiple swatches of life into one complete image. Form appears as a connecting thread in all of these compositions, as does the photographer’s ability to convey a message—whether one of strength, fragility, nostalgia, or festivity, depending on the work in question. Here lies Quoco’s true talent—the power to use his photographs to make us feel.

Alberto Quoco began working as a photographer in the 1970s. He has won a number of competitions and has exhibited throughout his native Italy.
