REMO BIANCO. ARCHITECT OF SURPRISES at MACA - Museum of Contemporary Art of Acri

November 22, 2009 to February 15, 2010

Remo Bianco (1922 – 1988) perfectly fits in the stimulating cultural context which animated the city of Milan in the fifties and sixties: Lucio Fontana’s and Piero Manzoni’s radical researches, Yves Klein’s monochromatic paintings, Pierre Restany’s…

Profile Information

About Me:

Silvio Vigliaturo was born in Acri (CS), in 1949. When still a child he moved to Chieri (TO), where presently he lives and works. He is a glassfusion maestro and his technique is appreciated internationally and considered unique in his genre by the most important Italian and foreign critics.

Silvio Vigliaturo’s artistic journey is one of constant evolution. The never-ending research on colours and forms is symptomatic of a perpetual struggle in favour of the purity of colours and matter’s expressive richness. A journey both gradual and tenacious, that led the artist to confront himself with a great variety of themes with different styles and instruments. Glass, steel, terra cotta and painting – which he never abandoned – are treated like matter, but represent as well an ideological choice, an important connotation of both his human and artistic growth. His glass works, which the artist creates in his bottega in Chieri, represent the conflict between the modernity of the image, the sign, the idea and the antiquity of the medium. Labeled as Homo Faber, his works are first thought, than interpreted and lived through a constant symbiotic relationship between mind and industriosity, consciousness and craftsmanship, creativity and visual poignancy. In 2006, while the city of Turin chose him as the only artistic testimonial for the Winter Olympics, in Acri was inaugurated the MACA – Civic Museum of Contemporary Art Silvio Vigliaturo. In 2008 the artist was named testimonial in the world of the UNICAL, University of Calabria.

About My Art:

In all my works, i aim to provide "punti di fuga", or "vanishing points". If you look at the head in my works, you will see that it is not done, finite. There are elements on the head which lead your gaze away, to give it a certain rhythm or vanishing point. Similarly, the hands in my sculpture are never rigid, they are fluid, suggesting movement.

Favorite Artists:

Picasso, Chagall, Matisse, Mirò, the surreallist and futurist movements
