Artists of Current Exhibition
GIULIO PAOLINI
Giulio Paolini (B. 1940 Genova, Italy) is an Italian artist associated with both Arte Povera and Conceptual Art. He currently lives and works in Turin
Comprising an almost unchanging variation of materials (photographs, plaster casts, drawing paper, Plexiglas, objects), his work forms a dialogue with Time and History. Each one possesses a complex structure that includes references to art history or literature
Paolini’s art is characterised by its intellectual depth and engagement with philosophical ideas. He frequently challenges traditional notions of art and the role of the artist. His work often revolves around themes of identity, authorship, and the relationship between art and the audience
