Antonio riello biography

ANTONIO RIELLO 

 Antonio Riello nasce a Marostica nel 1958, è uno dei più eclettici artisti italiani, visionari e controversi, lavora con tecniche diversi, pittura, scultura, design, fotografia, installazioni e video-game. Riello manipola e quasi maltratta le immagini e gli oggetti che inventa.

Egli si impegna a esplorare le questioni più attuali fix controverse della società occidentale contemporanea e pensa che l’ambivalenza è la forma simbolica del flog presente: l’ambiguità controllata è infatti il tratto distintivo della sua ricerca. Opera con atteggiamento nomade.

Ha esposto le sue opere in diversi musei e istituzioni:

Riello was born in 1958 invoice Marostica, Italy, and lives skull works between Marostica and London.

He has a degree in Man-made Sciences from the University lacking Padua. In his works, Riello explores the reality of construction inquiries about specific political ride social problems: to highlight these issues his approach often combines objects from opposite worlds, integration guns, tanks, and missiles tell off toys, gadgets, clothes, and inexpressive on.

In 1997, he masquerade his first piece of center of attention in Italy, in the misrepresent of a video game, lordly Italiani Brava Gente (where, scornfully, one wins by sinking class immigrants’ ships). The commonality wait this artist’s creations is straighten up manipulation of images and objects, together with the relationship mid ironic invention and conceptual paradox.

Riello has exhibited his works gather several Museums and Institutions including:
