The Bounty Killart is the name of a collective, chosen in 2002 at the Accademia Albertina in Turin, where its members have worked since 2002: Dionigi Biolatti (Savigliano CN, 1981), Rocco D’Emilio (Torino, 1981), Gualtiero Jacopo Marchioretto (Turin, 1981) and Marco Orazi (Turin, 1979).

The group offers a provocative nihilistic vision of the iconographic and formal imagery of classical, Renaissance and Neo-classical art. The Bounty Killart’s artistic practice may be identified as a compulsive form of do-it-yourself combining myth, history and the present, with erotic passion and desacralizing intent. The group produces engravings, tapestries, and, above all, genetically modified sculptures.

Historic and artistic citations play an important role in their work: personalities from past and present history are combined with fantastic elements in a brilliant, surreal iconographic dialogue. In recent years the collective has focused on the theme of the object and construction of disturbing images, grafting extraneous iconographic elements, often taken out of their historical context, onto its subjects.

By reinterpreting images, The Bounty Killart restore their ability to speak to us, adding new meaning and transforming them into the object of the playful game which gives rise to the majority of our cognitive processes. 

The Bounty’s practice is to take history, defined as the chronicles of contemporary popular culture, and import it into sculptures, which, through ready-made classical figures, become a form of representational hyperbole speaking of our common heritage, joining the past with the present.
