Cesare Callegari

Cesare Callegari, born 1974, graduate in Art and Communication. It’s from communication that all his work about art starts from. He’s always interested in creating social objects. Art as a way to describe his life and the lives of the people around him, taken by the places where he lives and has lived. He uses a mix of tecniques, focused mostly on 3D objects where he works on different scales. He uses plaster of different texutures, artificial self made resins, different kind of metal wires and nails, paper, varnish and acrilic paints.

Cesare Callegari tends to test one by one each material and to combine different mixtures of the same material in order to obtain the best results for each of them. That’s because every single material has to run around and fit perfectly the concept for which the object is created.

He’s fascinated by the psychological acts of the people. About the cause-and-effect by which things happen in the everyday life. About the reasons of general or specific behaviour. And he tries to translate these feelings in the objects he produces.

Cesare Callegari's work is deeply inspired by the music, especially the punk, dark and the new wave culture of the 80’s and can be considered always in a goth view, but read under his will to be playful. His main focus is to create objects that can be easily read by people as reflection of their own reality. That’s why he’s always in his own personal challenge in finding more usable and smartest way to express in sculpting, painting and even in poetry: he has published his first collection of poetry in 2009 and he is finishing the second book.
