Franco Cutticas work of art has an undeniably close connection to nature. Just as wood floats down the river and trails from coast to coast, Cuttica moves his particular vision of art, marking the path of his cosmopolitan career. This movement could even be described as inherent to his work. The monumentality of his many pieces, whether pertaining to horses, portraits or the different elements, involves a tedious and complex development. This evolves into part of the challenge and the adventure of the process. A chance to cross limits and expand borders. At the age of 6, his family emigrated to the United States from Argentina and eventually moved to East Hampton. Francos work manifests itself in a variety of mediums, all intended to express the cycles of nature and what he calls the flat circularity of time. Francos Driftwood series is an intervened extension of a journey. The wood that has traveled from faraway lands, like Africa, that by happenstance ends up on a beach in Long Island, artificially blends in an extended expression, a final suggestion of the influence of man.
