"Luna park" Painting

I was born in Rome in 1965.
My father, Sandro Lodolo, was a creative, graphic designer and director of television spots and themes, my mother, Isabella Fedeli, was a pop singer for RAI in the 60's.
Graduated in scenic design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, I started working in 1985 with my father, owner of Lodolofilm that from 1958 to 1968 had as a collaborator, the artist Pino Pascali on which, in 2012 I published the monograph "32 anni di vita circa. Pino Pascali raccontato da amici e collaboratori" (32 years of life, about. Pino Pascali told by friends and co-workers) (Carlo Cambi Editore, Poggibonsi).

I always painted preferring conceptual themes with a style that remembers the "Scuola di Piazza del Popolo" to which belonged Pino Pascali, Mario Schifano, Franco Angeli and Tano Festa.

Since some years I have concentrated my work on what I call "flocks": sheep and cars in traffic. The first, sheep, is a "good", white, natural flock; the second, cars, is an ugly, dirty, polluting "flock". The contrast between the "civilization" that advances with asphalt steps, and nature, more and more intimidated and limited in small non-urbanized areas, is the concept contained in my artistic production, through which I ask if the sheep are really more stupid, like the saying goes, then the humans who bury hectares of greenery under expanses of asphalt and concrete.
About fifteen yeras ago, I moved from Rome to the countryside to have more space, sunset view from my windows and a direct contact with nature.
