Stefano Losi was born in Lake Como, near Milan, where he was classically educated in literature and fine arts. “Violent Dances Fade | CHOREAE VIOLENTAE DISSOLVVNTVR” is his multimedia art and poetry project created in Milan in 1991, and further developed in London and New York. It combines sculptures in bronze, steel and cast glass, contemporary music and spoken word, and linen studies of the human figure in oils and oxidized metal minerals, with an epigrammatic Latin poetry. After a long series of events organized since the early 1990s in Europe, including shows and poetry readings in formal and alternative spaces, ranging from galleries, to workers unions and social centers, his art has been honored with different solo exhibitions at the United Nations and in established galleries in New York. Antonio Maria Costa, UN Under-Secretary-General, wrote: “This is a splendid union. In the words of these poems I find the same hope I cherish when I observe the World.” Four books collecting his art and epigrams, providing an overview of the author’s work in the respective creative periods, were published in 1996, 2001, 2010 and 2013. Stefano Losi’s work has been featured in different international publications, among which a book on Italian contemporary artists curated by Renato Miracco, and published under the auspices of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 2005 he was nominated Knight of the Italian Republic by President Ciampi. The author continues to create art and poetry in Chelsea, New York.
