12.09.2020 - 14.11.2020
Introduction
Memoria retrospettiva (Retrospective memory) by Giuseppe Gallo is the polyptych in 34 elements executed in 2009, on show at Galleria dello Scudo from 12 September to 14 November 2020. In a single installation structure the artist summarizes the subjects elaborated since the 1980s, with iconic figures of the "philosophers" to the "amorous weavings", from the silhouettes of the "authoritarian self-portraits" to those of the "heroes" who inspired some of the most significant bronze creations.
Artist
Born in the province of Cosenza in 1954, after completing scientific high school he frequented the faculty of Architecture. In Rome in 1976 Giuseppe Gallo held his first personal exhibition at the Galleria Ferro di Cavallo and in 1977 at La Stanza he presented "Giambellino". In this period he set up his studio in the former Cerere pasta factory in via degli Ausoni, destined to become the point of reference for an entire generation of artists.
