[ translate ]

\Artist: Salvatore Liistro
Technique: pannello termoformato sottovuoto\Signature: Hand signed\Dimensions: 20_60_cm
Pop Art work made with yellow thermoformed panel applied on a black wooden box frame. Origin of the work: purchased from the artist. Certificate of authenticity issued by Arcadia Art Gallery. Professional packaging and insured shipping. Salvatore Liistro was born in Syracuse in a family of Greek descent. After he moved to Turin, he began his artistic training at a very young age in the restoration workshops of the Piedmontese capital, a fundamental experience for the knowledge of ancient sculpture and in particular of the 15th-century wooden Madonnas. Then he matured his background as artistic trainer for important sculptors, undertaking at the same time the activity of restorer, collector and antique dealer. He landed in the activity of sculptor initially following a continuity with classical figures: a period when he carefully studied ancient and modern masters, looking for connections between the legacy of the past and contemporary possibilities. Tireless experimenter of materials and technologies, even the world of factories found its place in the exploration of new expressive possibilities, a space capable of turning itself into a site for the practice of art tout court. In this totally open vision, he has more recently developed a personal style, where the shape of colourful mouths close to POP ART, chosen as a communication symbol, is combines with a precise poetics linked to the environment and the possibility of an open use of art. In 2017 he was invited by the City of Turin to exhibit at the Town Hall for the World Environment Day. Always in 2017 he presented a preview of a series of experimental works in the context of the exhibition “Spirito d’Artista. Il Mondo visto con altri occhi”, promoted and organised by Accademia Pictor in the historic Palazzo Bellia, Turin. He also made the performance “Baci Reali” for the vernissage “D’Apres. Omaggio a Andy Warhol e al mito della Pop Art”, an exhibition project organised by Accademia Pictor in the event “Libreria” promoted by the city of Venaria Reale (Turin) . In 2017, for the event Paratissima, he did a solo exhibition entitled “MILLENOVECENTOSETTANTADUE”. In 2018 he participated in the exhibition “Cambiano come Montmartre” with works dedicated to recycling. Always in 2018, for the event Paratissima, he did a solo exhibition entitled “#UNBACIOSALVERAILMONDO”. In 2019 he participated in Scope Miami Beach with the Arcadia Art Gallery, Milan.
