Since graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 2001 Michael Visocchi has exhibited widely in the UK and abroad, having won many awards and bursaries for his work. Principally his practice involves the production of sculpture but he invariably employs the use of photography, drawing and printmaking to investigate some more elusive 3-dimensional ideas.

His work is concerned with the pursuit and development of a highly visual and stylised language exploring issues surrounding our use of landscape in the 21st century. At first glance many of his sculptural works reference geological and scientific models. Their bright colours and graphic simplicity share a similar visual style to these educational devices. However, they point to an altogether more arcane and fanciful ideal. On closer inspection, miniature architectural forms and landscapes are pared down to simplistic, homogenised and often repetitive motifs which play with notions of scale, balance and gravity.

In 2004 Visocchi was elected the youngest ever Academician of the Royal Scottish Academy. He currently lives and works between Edinburgh and Angus, Scotland.
