Marco Noris is an Italian artist (Bergamo, 1971) that lives and works in Barcelona, Spain. Chiefly devoted to drawing and painting, Noris passed through the world of video art, internet art and photography before re-establishing and focussing his artistic practice on the realm of painting: a choice that stems from the need to establish physical and temporary autonomy with regard to the machine and digital world. Noris is currently working on themes like ruins and historical memory, looking for the keys in the past to understand the present and to get a glimpse of the future. In Spain, he has exhibited his art in Barcelona (Sicart Gallery, Cyan Gallery, Esther Montoriol Gallery, Contrast Gallery, H2O Gallery, The Private Space, Casa Elizalde, Can Felipa, Espai M de La Escocesa, etc.), in Madrid (Matadero), in Castellón (Canem Gallery) and in the 5th Biennial of Vic. He has also participated in exhibitions and festivals in the USA (New York, The Active Space, 2014), in Italy (Different Pulses, 2013 and ParmaPoesia, 2002) and in France (Paris, Centre Pompidou, 2002). In 2016 and 2017, he will be holding solo exhibitions in the Canem Gallery (Castellón, Spain), the Roman temple of Vic, the Trama gallery (Barcelona) and the Fontrodona Artspace (Amsterdam). He is currently an artist in residence in Hangar (Barcelona).
