DANIELE ACCOSSATO

Daniele Accossato was born in 1987 in the province of Turin. At 15, he discovered sculpture as the ideal medium of expression, a place where Necessity takes shape. “…It is essential that each of us continually work to discover our own means of expression, a channel that allows us to achieve the most authentic expression of ourselves and constantly engage with the Other…” In 2011, he graduated with honors from the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin. His artistic research begins with sculptural technique, the alchemy of sculpture, and the icons that represent our cultural and artistic heritage. Through this approach, he explores the inner dynamics of human beings and the shared aesthetic sense.

The subjects of his works are archetypes, symbolic images that resonate within us because they are part of our culture. Their purpose is to be internalized, filtered, and ultimately transcended. Although his citationism reflects a feeling of gratitude, in Accossato’s work these icons are sometimes mistreated, hidden, constrained, or sacrificed. This symbolic act of “kidnapping” iconic works of the past is irreverent: it can symbolize the desire to break free from an education or tradition that can sometimes be limiting, breaking with preconceptions and norms. At the same time, it’s a way to give new life to these symbols, making them closer to us and more human, despite being considered untouchable and priceless.

STEFANO BOMBARDIERI

Stefano Bombardieri was born in Brescia in 1968. The son of a sculptor, he combined his artistic studies with frequent visits, from a young age, to his father, Remo Bombardieri’s studio, where he honed his technical skills. Alongside his primarily large-scale figurative sculptures, he creates works related to Arte Povera, conceptual art, and video installations. His artistic research develops through reflections, not without philosophical influences, on themes such as time and its perception, the experience of pain in Western culture, and humanity and the meaning of existence. His work begins with tangible reality and reaches interior worlds and fantastical universes. Since the 1990s, he has exhibited in public spaces and galleries, favoring the dialogue between artwork and urban space. His installations include those located in the center of Ferrara, Faenza, Bologna, Saint-Tropez, and Potsdam. In the evocative setting of Pietrasanta, he presented his solo exhibition, The Animals Count Down, in 2009. He also participated in the 52nd and 54th Venice Biennale.

DAVIDE DALL’OSSO

Artist Davide Dall’Osso has explored various art forms, finding sculpture as his primary form of expression. This has led him to engage with national and international institutions in installations, exhibitions, and collaborations. He graduated as a prose actor from the Paolo Grassi Civic School of Dramatic Arts in Milan; after his studies, he collaborated with Colombian director Enrique Vargas, where he experimented with sculpture as a means of creative expression. In his work as a sculptor, Dall’Osso draws on materials such as polycarbonate and plexiglass, blending them into light and dynamic compositions. The sculptor follows the paradigm of the circular economy, which views waste as a resource capable of embarking on a new path. For this reason, all works created using plastic polymers use 80% industrial polycarbonate waste and 100% industrial plexiglass waste. Together with Maria Vittoria Gozio, the artist founded Atelier Dall’Osso Snc in 2014, today a small Italian excellence in the transformation of waste into art and design objects. The primary subjects of Atelier Dall’Osso’s works are horses and female figures, emblems of human fury and spirit: the strength and freedom of the horse represent the instinctual drive of contemporary humanity, while the feminine symbolizes the creative energy that pervades the universe. Indoor and outdoor sculptures are also made of iron, copper, bronze, resin, wire, and wire mesh.

SABINO GALANTE

Sabino Galante was born in Turin in 1972. From 1998 to 2011, he attended the prestigious studio of artist Lella Burzio in Turin, where he developed his artistic skills, in a context rooted in the 19th-century aesthetic of Lorenzo Delleani. During his many years at the studio, he explored more traditional painting techniques such as pastel, watercolour, watercolor, acrylic, and even oil. This experimentation also included the use of various media: paper, canvas, wood panels, and so on. Furthermore, his training did not exclude the study of ancient art. His in-depth study of artists such as Piero della Francesca, Mantegna, Michelangelo, and Caravaggio was fundamental. His careful investigation of past works, in addition to suggesting technical solutions, has allowed him, over time, to learn all the aesthetic canons and all the concepts and contents essential to the development of an artist: the study of perspective and the golden ratio, the skillful use of light and color to give body and volume and emphasize elements. Since 2003, he has participated in countless exhibitions, both solo and group, in which he has received acclaim and favor from the public both regionally and nationally. Since 2018, he has taught drawing and oil painting at the University of Turin and at his art studio.

CIRO PALUMBO

Ciro Palumbo was born in Zurich in 1965. His artistic career is rich and eclectic: he draws inspiration from the poetics of the School of Metaphysics of Giorgio De Chirico and Alberto Savinio, reworking its cornerstones with a highly personal and original interpretation. Ciro Palumbo’s unique works are animated by objects and subjects that represent dreamlike symbolism; they are the stage for his aesthetic, resolved in the combination of traditional technique and contemporary virtuosity. The landscapes he depicts, characterized by a fantastical, imaginary, and visionary atmosphere, are the fruit of meticulously crafted study, demonstrating his mastery in combining observation of reality with imaginary traits drawn from memory. For these reasons, the artist is among the most appreciated surrealist painters by the public and critics. Each subject Palumbo chooses for his paintings, often mythological, is catapulted outside of its time, into a contemporary dimension, beyond physics, forcing the viewer into a state of disorientation, softened, however, by the calming vivacity of the colors, as traditionally occurs in Surrealist painting.

Palumbo approached the world of art by working for several years as an art director in advertising agencies in Turin, where he discovered and expanded his visual and compositional skills. However, it was thanks to an experience in a modern art studio and his acquaintance with several contemporary masters that he devoted himself to oil painting with glazes. He began exhibiting in 1994, subsequently appearing in around one hundred solo shows throughout Italy. In 2011, he participated in the 54th Venice Biennale, for the Piedmont Pavilion. Among his international exhibitions, noteworthy are his presence at Artexpo in New York, at Context Art Miami, and solo shows in Providence (USA) and Bellinzona, Switzerland. Some of Palumbo’s works are included in the collection of the Credito Bergamasco Foundation, at the Civic Gallery of Modern Art G. Sciortino in Monreale (PA), at the MACIST Museum in Biella, at the Palazzo della Cultura, and at the MACS in Catania.

VALERIA PATRIZI

Valeria Patrizi was born in 1979 in Rome, where she lives and works today. In 1999, she specialized in pictorial decoration at the “I.S.A. Roma2” Art Institute and in 2004, she graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome (Nunzio Solendo Painting Chair), after having attended the “Facultad de Bellas Artes de Granada” (Spain) for six months. She obtained a diploma in Painting Restoration from the San Giacomo Restoration School of the Municipality of Rome. She began her artistic career studying painting techniques and form through drawing and the study of anatomy. After a long period of studying academic painting, she distanced herself from it, moving towards a new, more essential and original pictorial dimension. In her large canvases, often displayed without frames as if they were large tapestries, she uses coffee, tea, and bitumen, seeking balance of form through lines and stains. Constantly searching for a new and symbolic idea of ​​the human figure, she focuses on the image of the woman; the only one in which she can lose herself and find herself again. Valeria Patrizi is among the most interesting contemporary Italian painters, particularly thanks to the sensitivity with which she treats her female and animal subjects, with which the Roman artist establishes a profound connection. Patrizi is attracting growing interest from the public and critics, and her price tag is rising. The Italian painter is very active on Instagram, where she regularly posts her new works.

FABRIZIO POZZOLI

Fabrizio Pozzoli was born in Milan in 1973. The artist’s background is varied: following his scientific studies, Pozzoli embarked on a career in set design and participated in various internships in England and the United States. After researching graphics and writing, he trained at the Scuola del Fumetto in Milan, where he acquired particular skills in the representation of human anatomy. Since the late 1990s, Pozzoli has been creating wire sculptures, generally protected by a layer of silicone, but sometimes intentionally left to rust. The wire is often combined with copper wire, intended to reinforce the dramatic impact or create evocative visual effects.

In 2005, he began creating giant sculptures, sometimes focusing solely on faces and their features. In 2008, for an exhibition at the Montrasio gallery in Milan, the artist exhibited alongside his works some photographs taken by renowned photographer Gianni Berengo Gardin, which portrayed him at work. Pozzoli spent three months in New York at the HSF artist residency, where he held a solo exhibition. For Palazzo Querini Stampalia in Venice, the artist was asked to dedicate four sculptures to the renowned Milo Manara. In 2010, his work became the subject of the renowned Austrian photographer Andreas H. Bitesnich. In 2011, the artist began a series of pieces based on the combination of wire figures and new materials, sparking a reflection on the individual and their interaction with the social context. From the same period are the iron-plated panels, on which he casts shadows by playing on the chromatic effects of metal oxidation. Pozzoli has exhibited his work in Europe, America, and Asia.
