Jacob Cartwright is a co-founder of Tre Lucci Studios, an artist-run space located in Pietrasanta, Italy—a town internationally renowned for its deep roots in sculpture and artisanal craft.
Pietrasanta offers an extraordinary infrastructure for artists working at scale. Surrounded by marble yards, bronze foundries, and master fabricators, the town provides a rare ecosystem where large and intricate works can be realized with technical excellence and historical depth. It is here that Jacob has found a uniquely supportive and fertile ground for artistic production.
Tre Lucci is home to six independent artists. While each maintains a distinct individual practice, the studio fosters a quiet yet powerful sense of community. It is not a collaborative environment in terms of shared works, but rather a space grounded in mutual respect, creative presence, and a shared commitment to the life of making.
Since the recent addition of an exhibiting space within the studio, Tre Lucci has begun holding regular exhibitions—emerging not from joint authorship but from the natural resonance of artists working in proximity. The atmosphere within the studio carries a kind of mandelic symmetry—diverse approaches held in a balanced and attentive rhythm.
This studio remains one of the most generative environments in [User’s Name]’s artistic life, shaped by the energy of Pietrasanta and the strength of the artistic community it holds.
