Mobil reflex (2005) Painting by Paolo Avanzi

Paolo Avanzi is a contemporary Italian artist. Before turning to the visual arts, he gained experience in a variety of cultural fields (piano music, literary studies, creative writing, psychology, etc.). His informal and abstract paintings, influenced by Pollock and Burri, first appeared in 2000 and used a variety of mediums (plastic, wood, glass). He has been working on an experimental figuration based on like-mirror effects since 2005. The depicted human figures in these paintings appear to be seen through a broken mirror.

Italian Pop-Art masters (Mario Schifano, Tano Festa etc) served as inspiration for his most recent work, "Post Pop Art". Because of his diverse upbringing, Paolo Avanzi is able to approach each subject with a distinct emotional energy.

Paolo Avanzi was born in 1958, in Italy. Since 2003, he has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Additionally, he had taken part in significant Italian contemporary art fairs and international art fairs (as in Miami, New York, Innsbruck).
