Claudio Beorchia (born in 1979 in Vercelli) is a visual artist interested in giving form to eloquent and significant artworks reflecting on the complexity, the incongruences and the contradictions of a particular reality and of some social dynamics.
Claudio works through the use of several media and experimenting different and unusual materials.
Most of his project and artworks are conceived site-specificly as the artist gives a great importance to which space and specific urban landscape the artworks will be set in, and even more to the citizens of the place and the surrounding dynamics.
He helds a BA in Visual Art and Design at Iuav in Venice, a MA in New Media Art at Brera Art Academy in Milan, a PhD in Design Sciences at Iuav in Venice and he participated to many residences in Italy, Germany, Denmark and China.
