Verified profile

Colors 2, the contemporary art exhibition of the De Chiara De Maio Foundation continues with the last artist of this edition. Angelomichele Risi, born in Fisciano in 1950, was a student of Capogrossi, De Stefano, and Scordia at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. Starting from the seventies, among the main exhibitions, his presence at the Tenth Rome Quadrennial in 1975, Rondò at the Ancient Arsenals of Amalfi in 1985, Correspondences with Bernd Zimmer at the Karl Pfefferle gallery in Munich in 1987, the Biennale of the South at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples in 1988, the Suzzara Prize in 1992 with Works from the nineties, Contemporary Como5 in Como in 2000, the solo exhibition The Engineer's Dream at the FRAC Museum in Baronissi in 2005. In 2011, he was invited to the Italian Pavilion at the 54th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. The most recent exhibition, in 2023, is the solo exhibition at the FRAC Museum in Baronissi with the presentation of the catalog by Massimo Bignardi published by Gutemberg. The curator Valerio Falcone and the artist have agreed to create fifteen works specifically for this exhibition and the exhibition spaces of the Foundation. Blue Hair, Fairy, Mater Matuta, and the other paintings are all oil on paper of the same dimensions, introducing the public to the research of this highly experienced painter. Falcone himself writes in the catalog associated with the exhibition: 'In Risi's works, the material and color seem to come out of the frame and manage to cross the closed threshold of the canvas. These latest works made specifically for the De Chiara De Maio Foundation are a happy demonstration of this.' Indeed, the project is consistent with the history of the De Chiara De Maio Foundation and its origins, which owe so much to the connection with family traditions. This is what the president of the Foundation, Diodato De Maio, explains in the aforementioned publication, stating that 'the combination of family heritage and personal aspirations is a common thread that curiously drives me towards the search for this artist.' Risi, in fact, began his artistic growth in his father's artisan workshop, a copper worker for two generations and guardian of a family legacy that enriches the human geography of Fisciano, where the painter was born.
