Abbracci - (Embraces) Painting

Peter Gazzola was born in Rimini January 18, 1980, he is a self-taught artist, versatile and eclectic. To perform his works, using various techniques and styles learned over the years: ranges from drawing to painting, from sculpture (marble, bronze, iron, wood, ceramic, resin ..) to photography (both in the classic technique of the film is in the new digital technology), in Painting and New Media. It inspired both by history that current events, related to Politics, Culture, Science, Sports, etc .by using an irreverent and ironic language to bring out a sort of atistical Vox Populi. In a 2006 performance he burned many of his works and in 2007 was published his first book “Contemporary Art .. Let’s send it to the Stake!” (Christian Maretti Editore). He has exposed his works in Italy and abroad, some of them are published in the “Catalogue of Italian Sculptors” and “Modern Art Catalogue”, both Mondadori (2009). In 2009, near Edzna, Mexico, P.G. was the protagonist of an “extraordinary” discovery: 2 Crystal Skulls, most probably dating back to the ancient Mayan civilization. For several years he also worked with his father, the artist Gian Paolo Gazzola. The Art Critic Manuele Scagliola defines the artist in its citation: “In a period when high specialisation is imposed, when artists are asked to deal with one single subject, with the continuous repetition of one single work – it has become very rare to find someone who can manage so many techniques, and with such simplicity and enthusiasm. Peter Gazzola seems to have a multifaceted nature as he can use every sort of technique – drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, writing, which remember the versatility typical of the great Renaissance masters. The artist shouldn’t have limits, his creativity should be free to cross every sort of boundary, to experiment and find new ways, new materials, until it becomes an uncontrollable force of nature.” Works on commission are welcome!
