1970 Italy EN Oriano Galloni was born in Italy in 1970. In 1988, Galloni enrolled at the Accademia Di Belle Arti in Carrara, graduating Magna Cum Laude. After graduation he went to Florence to continue his studies. Florence became his teacher. In 1995 he went to Capetown, South Africa to study light and form. In 1998 he began to experiment with color on marble and mixing marbles. Living and working in both New York and Tuscany since 1999 his works have continued to explore the two dimensional as well as three dimensional worlds. Oriano’s works seek to evoke the power of silence and continue, questioning the definition of soul, body, and covering. His inspiration was born in 1998, in a forest in Germany, where, while walking alone through the forest in a ghostly silence, he was accompanied by hundreds of 50 to 100 foot high figures. These Silent Souls transcended their physical representations and communicated a knowledge that overcame reason, filling the image with meaning. His creations are made of Linden wood and Carrara marble, destined to last through the ages. Wood represents the covering, a matter that develops and changes, breaking and aging like human skin; while marble is a material that lives in eternity, representing the essence of the soul.
FR Oriano Galloni est né en 1970 en Italie. En 1988, Galloni s'inscrit à l'Académie des Beaux-Arts de Carrare, et obtient son diplôme mention très bien. Par la suite, il part à Florence où il continue l'apprentissage de la sculpture. La ville devient son professeur. En 1995, il va à Cape Town, Afrique de Sud pour étudier les formes et les lumières. En 1998, il commence à expérimenter la couleur sur le marbre et le mélange des marbres. Vivant et travaillant entre New York et la Toscane depuis 1999, son travail continue à explorer la 2D et la 3D. L'univers d'Oriano évoque le pouvoir du silence et continue à questionner le sens de l'âme, du corps et de l'habillage. Son aspiration pour cela est née d'une expérience personnelle en 1998 dans une forêt d'Allemagne où, alors qu'il marchait seul dans le silence, il fut accompagné par des centaines de formes de 50 voire 100 pieds de long. Ces âmes silencieuses transcendent leur représentation physique et communiquent leur connaissance au delà du raisonnement, donnant du sens aux images. Fait de bois de tilleul et de marbre de Carrare, les créations de Galloni traversent les âges. Le bois représente l'habit, une matière qui bouge, se casse et vieillit comme la peau; et le marbre est une matière survivant pour l'éternité, représentant l'essence de l'âme. |
