Giorgio Celiberti, born in Udine in 1929, is a first-rate painter in the panorama of contemporary art. After his studies in Venice, he moved to Paris immediately after the War. He then lived in Brussels and London, and stayed in the United States, Mexico, Cuba and Venezuela. Since 1940, Celiberti has given more than 100 personal exhibitions in Italy and abroad. His artworks covers a wide range of media, including painting, graphic arts and sculpture. Since visiting the lager of Terzin, near Prague, Celiberti’s work celebrates the great civil themes and continues to evolve along the lengthy course towards serenity. From the zoomorphical subjects, ha has turned recently to a wide range of signs and symbols: crosses, squares, stars, letters, numbers, graphs, prints and a lot of hearts, full of sense and drenched in humanity. Celiberti is a great builder: he loves the ample gestures which re-design space and establish fascinating relations with matter. His works can be found in and on numerous public buildings, like the Mosaico dell’Amicizia (“Friendship Mosaic”) created for the University of Lubiana and the gigantic fresco for the Kawakyu Hotel of Shirahama, in Japan. It has been said of him: “There are artists who express themselves best in a Sonnet. For Celiberti, the Chant is suitable”. Carmelo Zotti(Trieste, 1933 – Treviso, 16th May, 2007) attended the Accademia delle Belle Arti of Venice during the 1950s, a period when new techniques in visual research, called “informal”, were gaining popularity throughout Europe. In his early twenties, Zotti allied himself to the new directions being explored in European art research and the surrealistic vein it embodied, associating himself with artists such as Afro, Villon, Licini, Tobey, and later Fautier, Vedova and Hartung. Zotti measured his own work with theirs, guided by an original sensibility and a deep strength, running deep with emotions and a sense of humanity. At the beginning of the 1970s it became clear that Zotti’s genuine interest is painting, where he wished “to tell stories”, drawing from his own subconscious, paintings, which reveal themselves “inevitably”. Every sign becomes thus a symbol, a metaphor. Until 1990 Zotti held the department chair of painting at the Accademia delle Belle Arti of Venice. He continues to take part in many important international art exhibitions, Riccardo Licata , born in Turin in 1929, attended the art lycée in Venice, approaching the Bauhaus experience and the mosaic art. He took part in the debate on the renewal of Italian art and, in 1949, led a group of young abstractionists. In the meantime, his painting evolved towards a “graphic-pictorial writing”, inspired by music. In 1950, Licata attended some painting courses at the Accademia delle Belle Arti of Venice and the following year gave his first personal exhibition in a Venetian art gallery. In 1957 Gino Severini invited Licata to become his assistant in Paris, where he would go on to work with numerous important artists in experimental engraving, including Hayter, Friedlander and Goetz, all while maintaining frequent contacts with Matta and other European artists. Since 1962, he has taught at the Académie des Beaux-Arts of Paris, and, since 1970, he has lead the department of experimental techniques of the International School of Graphic Arts of Venice. Licata is a consistent participant at the most important international art exhibitions and shows, and is part of permanent exhibitions in museums all over the world. Licata can also be found at numerous exhibitions or as a participant at the most important international graphic shows. Armando Pizzinato (Maniago, 1910 – Venice, 2004) is one of the most important painters of the 20th century. A man and artist of great rigour, Pizzinato’s painting has left an indelible mark on the modern history of art, as far as giving himself up to spontaneity, free of any concern for coherence. Pizzinato entered the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Venice at the age of 20; in 1933, he exhibited in Milan; in 1936 moved to Rome to take part in the “Corrente” group. In 1939 Pizzinato returned to Venice, where he began to establish ties with the Cavallino circles: Martini, Scarpa, Cesetti, Viani, Santomaso, Afro, Basaldella, Turcato e Vedova, and take part in many exhibitions while his works began to find their way into some of the most important museums in the world. In 1946, he was one of the most lively of the Fronte Nuovo group in Venice. In 1948, he exhibited at the Biennale and at the Exhibition of 20th-Century Italian Art in New York. In the same years, Pizzinato joined the Realism current. Rejected by the violent political-cultural dispute of the 50s, in 1960 he found the strength, as he himself says, “to come out of it”, embracing new demands. The so-called new-realism period marks the beginning of a journey that will last more than twenty years. The artistic journey has continued to the current day, and now there is little doubt that Pizzinato has achieved the conquest of a full, interior liberty. Pizzinato has exhibited in the most important Italian cities and art places in the world: the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Cincinnati Art Museum, then in Paris, Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Berlin, Dresden, Vienna and other important art centres and capitals.
