Massimo Taccon (born May 19, 1967) is an Italian painter, sculptor and writer who, during his 'Ismahel period' (1997–2002), signed his artworks with the pseudonym ISMAHEL.[1]
Life and work[edit]
Taccon was born in Rome and lives between Rome and New York. In 2000 his work was shown at the Langhkawi International Festival of Arts 2000, held by the Malay National Art Gallery, Ibrahim Hussein Museum and Culture Foundation, and shown to the prime minister Mahathir Mohamad.[1]
On 14 September 2010, in Rome at the studio "La Taccon Arte", in the presence of a few friends, Taccon dictated the basic pillars of a new art movement: The "Critical Meditavism" (Meditavismo Critico). A copy of the manifesto is preserved in the historical archives of the Rome Quadriennale in the complex of Villa Carpegna (Rome),[2] as well as at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.[3] His work has been exhibited in Italy, Germany, Spain,[1] and London.[4]
In his early period Taccon has often been compared by critics to Rothko or Jackson Pollock , and later he has been associated with Arte Povera (coined term by the art critic and curator Germano Celant), and the figure of Jannis Kounellis.[1]

Statements on art[edit]
- All my Artworks are the masterpiece of my immaterial mind... (Massimo Taccon)[1]
- My works are collected messages from the soul, and transferred in image to represent an inside world. I pick up feelings and intuitions to reverse them to the exterior, trying to launch a call in this world. What I expect is a definitive inside awakening of whom picks up the call... (Massimo Taccon)[1]
