Gianandrea Gazzola
Artist
Gianandrea Gazzola is an artist whose activity, starting from his training, has a strong interdisciplinary imprint. He is active in sectors such as scenography, music and design, but it is in the visual arts and installations that he finds his main means of expression. The central theme of his work is the relationship between different aspects of perception, in particular sound and shape, extending the interest to the relationships between natural phenomena, such as water, wind and clouds. Examples of this kind of research are the works “Lo Stilo” and “Infinitum”, that were created by him from 2013 to 2018 at Arte Sella, an international event of contemporary arts staged in the forests of the Val di Sella Valley. The concept of time in its historical sedimentation is also one of the guiding elements of his work and two tangible expressions of this theme are the two installations that were created by him in 2018 inside the sixteenth-century Botanical Garden of Padua. Other installations are located in the Charterhouse of Padula and in the Baths of Titus in Castel Sant’Angelo and were created by him in collaboration with the group “Spazi Consonanti”, with which he has worked within ancient monuments such as the Colosseum. Currently he is working on the completion of the installation "Sub Limine" at the old cistern of Seggiano, where the roots of an olive tree reveal their activity with a real time drawing. In December 2024 he will present the work “Per Silentia III” at the Basilica Palladiana of Vicenza on the occasion of the exhibition “Tre capolavori a Vicenza. Leonardo da Vinci, Jacopo Bassano, Gianandrea Gazzola" (“Three masterpieces in Vicenza. Leonardo da Vinci, Jacopo Bassano, Gianandrea Gazzola”).
