Graduated at the Professional Institute for Graphics and Advertising in Crotone, he subsequently attended the Art, Music and Entertainment department at University of Calabria. He participated in several group exhibitions in Italy and abroad, in addition he presented a solo show at MACK (Crotone) in 2016. Since 2019, fifthy of hiw artworks have become part of the private collection of the Four Seasons Hotel in London.

Manuela Bedeschi lives and works between Verona and Bagnolo di Lonigo (Vicenza). She graduated in Sculpture and Painting at the Fine Art Academy in Verona. She later attended the Conceptual Art course at the Summer Academy of Fine Arts in Salzburg – with Roman Opalka and Gunter Ueker – and the Experimental Graphic course at the International School of Graphics of Venice. Bedeschi has been working for a long time in the field of painting and sculpture: she has exhibited in national and international contexts, favouring installations and site specific works.

Tiziano Bellomi (Verona, 1960) lives and works in Verona. He gained his diploma at the Liceo Artistico Statale of Verona, and at the international School of Graphics in Venice. He was also awarded a diploma in painting at the G. B. Cignaroli art school in Verona. Bellomi uses painting, drawing, photography, video, etching, sculpture, and installations for his art research. He has participated in art residences, solo shows, and group shows in Italian and foreign museums and galleries.

Piero Chiariello was born in 1972 in Torre del Greco (Naples) where he still lives and works. After having studied Architecture at the University “Federico II”, his art research has been articulated through painting, photography, music, video, sculpture and installations. He has exhibited his artworks in various national and international occasions, including MAXXI and MACRO in Rome, the 54° Venice Biennale, the international project of digital art SPAMM and three editions of the New Digital Art Biennale in Brazil.

Marco Ferri was born in 1968 in Tarquinia, where he lives and works.

Dino Izzo was born in 1948 in Naples, where he still lives and works. Fascinated by signs and materiality of writing, he has always reflected with several methods and techniques on the “expressive insufficiency of the word and the wear of the image”. His artworks come from the interpretation of quickly traced graphite signs and the titles given, which become like an art literary archive. He has exhibited in Italy since 1975 and also in foreign cities as Copenhagen, Göteborg, Bern, Zurich, Chicago, Tokyo and Los Angeles since 1988.

Piero Chiariello – Wallpapers for your phone #6

Piero Chiariello - Wallpapers for your phone 6

Mazzacana Gallery presents the ten digital artworks created by Piero Chiariello for the exhibition Wallpapers for your phone #6, curated by Federica Lavarini. The artworks will be free to download starting at 6:30 PM (CEST) on September 11th 2021, and they will become available upon payment at the end of the event – October 11th 2021 – or after 500 copies downloaded.

“Maximum complexity and maximum simplicity correspond” as Piero Chiariello says, for this reason in Pulvis he employs an everyday, anonymous and sometimes insidious element: atmospheric dust. It has existed for millennia, reveals the presence of light, absorbs environmental cues, arranges itself according to precise laws and, at the same time, refers to vagueness and chance. Pulvis is the dust which, undisturbed, has deposited for months on the surface of various materials and returns an imaginary landscape of what happened during our absence and without our action.

Altre forme – Piero Chiariello

Mazzacana Gallery is pleased to announce the preparation of the exhibition Altre forme of artist Piero Chiariello, curated by Massimo Sgroi.

The opening of Altre forme will take place on saturday December 7th 2019 at 5 PM, while the end of the event has been set to January 31st 2020.

The exhibition will be free admission and it will feature wall-mounted works of various formats and two video works.

Piero Chiariello realizza il suo lavoro proprio nel momento in cui la mutazione tecnologica investe come una tempesta il corpo e la mente, in particolare nei suoi lavori più recenti dimostra come ci troviamo impreparati di fronte ai nuovi paradigmi del senso. La frammentazione dell’immagine non implica un automatico adattamento della nostra mente, anzi. Incapaci di interpretare tutti i segni che ci circondano finiamo per vivere un senso di spiazzamento, di estraneità verso tutti i modelli che la vita stessa ci propone. Non esiste più un criterio assoluto di riconoscibilità, dell’arte come della vita, ma un continuum disomogeneo di frammenti emozionali. In questo il rapporto con la nuova percezione, apparentemente contraddittoria delle opere di Chiariello, assume, di volta in volta, valenze di sradicamento e di estraneità in alcune e in altre funzioni liberatorie e aggreganti.
