Gianni Depaoli was born in Ivrea (Italy) on March 4th 1961, he works in Candia Canavese. He created exhibitions and installations to witness environmental degradation and the violence on the animals through exhibitions supported by museums and istituzionals authorities: initiatives know with the name of "Mare nero" museums of Bergamo (Black Sea), "Allarme Ambiente" Genova museum of Science, "A" like "Ambiente" in Turin, museum "Garda" in Ivrea, "Marineland Antibes" and a lot of other projects rappresented through installations, "Anime Silenziose" (Silent Souls) inagurated in the Milan's aquarium, “to the Quinto Mondo" (5th world), Paratissima Turin, "Oceaniche Alchimie" biennal Italy-China Torino. The new research developed by using inks and skins of cephalopodos brings him to investigate the matter for find the beautiful of the things, abbandoning but not forgetting the previous tragedies. This gives life to the new series of exhibitions: "RossoMare" in the Gallery of Modern Art in Genova Nervi, to the installation of Italian Embassy in Montecarlo (France) of the work "Prede e Pescatori" , Macist Biella Italy and other Institutional Building. He is interested in Art, Philosophyand natural and artificial to beauty. Descendant of fourth generation from operators of the international fish sector, and collaborators of national science museums I conceive the skin how: live testimony of identity staff, of membership and I celebrate this with respect, modelling this on the canvas how a masterwork with surgical scalpel and steel needles. The natural elements like skin of fish, cephalopodos, their inks, bones, and materials of processing of this noble product are my tools for comunicate; a combination of organic elements that remember us the experiences and transmitted us a lot of feeling of new life. The strength that express the plot of tissues, the uniqueness of the forms and the power of the colours helps me to create a lot of forms, sometimes abstract and informal, sometimes figurative, investigating a wonderful world that from real of the inanimate matter fleeing towards the fantastic. The expression of the gesture is the result of manic manipulations of chromatophores that shape and pigmented at random on support.
