Scoli Acosta was born in 1973 in Los Angeles, where he lives and works. Winner of the Perrier-Jouët Prize for Best Artist in 2008 at the ZOO ART FAIR (London), he graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute (1994) and the Ultimate Akademie, Cologne (1997). Scoli Acosta has been the subject of several solo exhibitions : Museum of Contemporary Art of San Diego 2013 ; Armory Center for the Art, Pasadena, California, 2011 ; FRAC Basse Normandie, 2011 ; Laxart Los Angeles. His artworks can be found in the collections of the LACMA, Los Angeles ; Jumex Colección, Mexico ; MOMA, New York ; Rubell Family Collection, Miami ; FRAC Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur ; FRAC Pays de la Loire, Crac. He has showed at Daniel Reich gallery and currently shows at Galerie Laurent Godin in Paris, France. Scoli Acosta was born in 1973 and was predominantly influenced by the 1980s. The generation of artists that grew up in, and took inspiration from, the 1980s was influenced by a period of quickly growing global capitalism, political upheaval, significant wealth discrepancy, global mass media and distinctive music and fashion, including electronic pop music and hip hop. The nineteen eighties was the era of African famine, the height of the Cold War, and also the end of it, as marked by the fall of the Berlin Wall. influential art movements of the era include Neo Geo, The Pictures Generation and the international trend of Neo-Expressionism which manifested in Germany, the USA and Italy (where it was known as Transavanguardia). The decade was exemplified by artists like Anselm Kiefer, Jorg Immendorff, Enzo Cucchi, Francesco Clemente and Julian Schnabel. Street art and graffiti began to gain recognition, notable artists of which include Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf. Scoli Acosta was born in 1973 in Los Angeles where he lives and works. Awarded the Perrier-Jouët Prize for Best Artist at Zoo Art Fair in 2008, he has studied fine art at the Kansas City Art Institute (1994) and the Ultimate Akademie in Köln, Germany (1997). « Moving beyond the "specific object" - to use Donald Judd s term - of the 1960s, which were neither paintings nor sculptures, but something in between, Acosta's tambourines are at once paintings and functional objects, diverting the legacy of modernist painting to the realm of the everyday, the hand-held, and the percussive. (…) Acosta is part of a lineage of artists who embrace the found object, from the Surrealists to later funk and assemblage artists of the 1960s, but his practice emphasizes recycling and reclamation, actions born of the pressures and necessities of our contemporary moment. Working with a range of mediums--oil and acrylic painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, and performance, all of which may be incorporated into elaborate installations--Acosta's work is characterized by what he has described as "aesthetics of resourcefulness." The artist favours humble materials, economic gestures, and transparency with respect to his craft. His installations emerge as poetic constellations that reveal traces of his research and production processes, as well as his movement through various landscapes.
