Born in 1964, Andrea Benetti created and drew up the ”Manifesto of Neo Cave Art” presented at the 53rd Venice Biennale, in the pavilion entitled ”Nature and Dreams”, located at the Ca' Foscari University. Conceptually, the Manifesto is inspired by the genesis of art. In his works, Andrea Benetti cites, transfigures, plays with and reinvents concepts and forms of Cave Andrea Benetti - Italian contemporary artpainting, creating an ideal bridge between the genesis of art and its contemporaneity. He has collaborated and continues to collaborate with various Italian and foreign universities, (including the Johns Hopkins University, the University of Bologna, Ferrara, Roma Tre, Lecce, Bergamo, Bari) on the realization of innovative projects. The aforementioned universities have implemented research studies and programming based on his art. Andrea Benetti's works are presented in world wide collections.
