The City Biker Framed with Repurposed Materials

Growing up in Italy, C. DaNapoli was destined to become an artist. With a painter, art collector and renowned goldsmith in his family tree, he began his art journey as a photographer. Forced to consider composition, light, and lines, he questioned how he could bend the rules. Shooting from unorthodox angles and stepping outside the box. The images, however, felt like incomplete thoughts. He wanted more: more substance, more context, more emotional impact. Simultaneously, he had taken to using non-traditional material and the concept of second chances.  “How better to express a belief in second chances than by giving new life to items that have been abandoned or thrown away?” “Who says that a piece of drywall or cement cannot be transformed into something beautiful?  And what is beauty anyway?” So he crafts frames with repurposed construction materials. Shown here is the biker, 24x10.
