Francesco Impellizzeri

Data and contact details

 

Francesco Impellizzeri was born in Trapani in 1958 and graduated in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, where he lives and works. In his first exhibitions he favored a pictorial research on sign / color in relation to music. Since 1990 he has offered performances and installations in which they are combined with painting, music, theater, video and photography. The first performance "Strilli" of 1990 at the Temple Gallery in Rome saw the birth of the first character: UNPOPOP. Immediately following performances and new stereotypes characters follow one another. Photos and paintings complete the exhibitions that from the Roman galleries (La Nuova Pesa, Pio Monti, Oddi Baglioni, Il Ponte Contemporanea, etc.) present works on the characters created and new performances. From 1997 to 2007 he exhibited with the Espacio Minimo gallery in Madrid and also at the Reina Sofia Museum and the Salamanca DA2. In the early years of 2000 he presented to the public the "Pensierini": sheets of elementary school books, made in small and large dimensions, in which are commented on customs, politicians and private subjects seen as the eyes of a child but whose content and design reveal the ironic world that the artist has always told. Summaries of his persuasion are the last canvases in which the color of the initial chromatic research merges with the texts retrieved from the notes of his rich notebooks. Through installations the texts, painted with silver on glass, are also presented as luminous projections enriched by sounds or musical performances. In 2013 with Mikele Abraham he created ARTE CLANDESTINA, a project of musical events / performances in which the artistic and cultural changes of the last twenty years are highlighted with irony and critical sense. From 1987 to 2014 he collaborated with the artist Carla Accardi. He has participated in numerous exhibitions in galleries, museums and international fairs, television broadcasts and films.
