Verified profile

Angelo Leonardo's solo exhibition is dedicated to the Japanese artist O'Tama Kiyohara (1861-1939). The interest in the artist drives a personal research forward, along with a collective project with Stefania Galegati and Daria Filardo. At the core of the research presented for the exhibition space L'Ascensore is the discovery of a manuscript containing an interview with the Japanese artist never translated into Italian. The research project is supported by the General Directorate of Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture within the Italian Council program (13th edition, 2024), aimed at the international promotion of Italian contemporary art. Biography Angelo Leonardo's research can be considered the result of a continuous embrace of error, pushing his technical and intellectual abilities to the limit. He mainly works with painting, embroidery, and video, although the means he uses often vary depending on the context and the people he interacts with. For Leonardo, learning something new during the creative process is essential; he does not conceive his works as the exclusive result of the author's act, but as the outcome of the multiple external influences that nourish his vision. Born in 1991 in Enna, he currently lives in Palermo. He began his training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, completing his studies in 2018 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo. From 2014 to 2024, he collaborated as an author with the magazine E IL TOPO, exhibiting in numerous institutions in Italy and abroad. In Calascibetta, the village where he grew up, he founded Collezione Canalotto in 2015, a project developed for Hisn Al-Giran, a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the Byzantine Village: an ancient rock settlement and a significant testimony of the passage of Byzantines and Arabs in Sicily. Since 2020, he has been working with Stefania Galegati, in a sort of alliance between artists that began with an ongoing research project titled Where is Everybody?.
