Giulio Zanet  

Giulio Zanet is an Italian artist born in 1984 who lives and works in Correggio in Italy. From his childhood, he had an interest in aniconic paintings, sculptures and environmental installations. The pictorial practice of Giulio Zanet is a way of being in the world, an eternal attempt to understand it. Performing a process of abstraction, the artist discovers that the movement reveals an intrinsic embarrassment, a humor that echoes our own vulnerabilities. Painting is a metaphor for man in constant search for a continuous loss. His work is a survey on images, on the representation of the world, as well as the representation of ideas that find their own realization through painting. Ambiguity and evidence, repetition, variation, rules and omissions, acceptance and rejection are elements that Zanet puts into play to bring the user to question the meaning of the work. His works do not refer to recognizable forms and the results are deconstructions of the real whose meaning opens to possible and multifaceted interpretations. His works have been exhibited in galleries and public spaces in Italy and abroad including Institut Français - Palazzo Delle Stelline, Milan, the Lissone Museum, Pinacoteca Civica di Como, Galleria Spp, Bratislava, Slovakia, Riso-Museo D' Contemporary art of Sicily, Palermo, Liu Hiusus Art Museum, Shanghai, China Circoloquadro, Milan, ArteSantander, Santander, Spain, ABC-Arte.
