artist/ Virgilio Rospigliosi

Italie

He is an Italian researcher and performer. He began to experiment with art at the age of 13, influenced by photography, Flemish and expressionist painting. At that time his stylistic references were Rembrandt and Munch. Later he discovered Duchamp, Man Ray and Viennese Actionism. He soon developed a very personal language, often hiding his identity behind various pseudonyms. His incessant theoretical and experimental research led him to create extremely heterogeneous stylistic models: visual psychic archetypes, idiosyncrasies, computer landscapes, temporal experiments, “Defunctionalizations”, “Conceptual shifts” and “Art for the masses”. The latter was also born as a way to finance his research, often not attributable to conventional circuits. Aware of the limits of traditional and non-traditional artistic expressions, at the end of the 90s he began to work on that philosophical dimension and limit language that he later defined with the neologism “Atomideogenesis”. “Repetition as Difference” is the title of his latest research and series of works.
