Antonio Scaccabarozzi
Merate, Lecco 1936 - Santa Maria Hoè, Lecco, 2008
The artist Antonio Scaccabarozzi fits into a European pictorial context, despite his work cannot be placed in a precise current. He summarizes in fact several instances that, starting from a non-figurative painting, address the problems of visual art, structural, conceptual and programmed.
The artist Antonio Scaccabarozzi fits into a European pictorial context, despite his work cannot be placed in a precise current. He summarizes in fact several instances that, starting from a non-figurative painting, address the problems of visual art, structural, conceptual and programmed, which then overturns in the name of a total pictorial freedom in terms of reason and emotion. The choice of Scaccabarozzi was not accidental because he was a reference of the territory towards a European culture, in particular when in Merate in the 70s he was among the main animators of an activity, that of Studio Casati, which has had the merit of bringing authors such as Morellet, Distel, Calderara, Nigro, also contributing to a political program of artistic decentralization of Milanese culture. Many of his exhibitions including solo shows: Galleria d'arte del Cavallino in Venice, Lydia Megert Gallery in Bern, Lorenzelli Gallery in Bergamo, Katin Rabus Gallery in Bremen. The group exhibitions: Leopold-Hoesch-Müseum, D'Urem, Bevilacqua la Masa Foundation, Cernuschi Ghiringhelli Collection at the Villa Croce Museum in Genoa, "Emotion and Method" at the Künsterl Gallery in Munich. The exhibition held in Osnago in 2003 presents his research of the 80s after the Measurements: in particular the Free Quantities, then the Essentials where the artist presents a pure color without support and then from 1996 the Polyethylene, already present at his exhibition held in Lecco in the framework of "Lecco Arte Festival" in '98".
