The Jack of All Trades: A Solo Exhibition by Peeta

Manuel di Rita, also known as Peeta, was born in the province of Venice in 1980. What defines his work is the anamorphosis of reality combined with the deception the human perception, which has led to Peeta becoming one of the most internationally known Italian street artists. His compositions, which range from murals, to pictorial to sculptural, redefine three-dimensional geometric spaces and volumes, create the illusion of a new reality in a continuous dialogue with the surrounding space.

Peeta’s career began as a graffiti writer, then he developed his own personal language using the 3D technique becoming a multidisciplinary artist. At the end of the nineties, Peeta approached the German three- dimensional lettering scene. His research continued with his artistic studies on sculpture; he began investigating the development of the different forms and the light effects on surfaces.
