GIOVANNI SCHIANO, (Naples, 1976) "Drab days and coloured minds 6". Ceramic totem. Fire glazed ceramic sculpture. 149 pieces. Hand signed. Measurements: 50 x 12 cm. Giovanni Schiano is a well-known haute couture photographer as well as painter, sculptor and designer. Trained in the world of graphic design and photography, he has developed a set of artistic and technical skills inspired by the rich tradition of Italian art and design. So much so, that Schiano's sculpture and design are particularly inspired by Ettore Sottsass, founder of the Memphis Group design movement active in the 1980s, and known for his colorful and vibrant design with a good dose of whimsy. The geometry that is part of Bridget Riley's Optical Art, but also the boldness of MimmoRotella and Mario Schifano, without ever leaving aside the decadent and melancholic imprint of JanezBernik, are some figures that have served as inspiration for the creation of new artistic pieces by the artist Schiano. His three-dimensional creations incorporate vigorous color, lines and geometric shapes that come together to create compositions that both confuse and delight the eye. In terms of material, many of his sculptures are made with contemporary elements such as Plexiglas, but he also works with older ones such as ceramics and wood. Schiano's fabulous work has been exhibited in galleries in major cities around the world, Art Sawa in Dubai, Osi Modern in London, Liu Chang Gallery in China and galleries in New York, Paris, Los Angeles and Miami, Brussels, Berlin and even Tokyo. Without leaving behind his work as a photographer and passionate about the world of fashion, Schiano collaborates with famous magazines such as Vogue, Glamour, Jam Magazine or ID.
