Claudio Cargiolli
Claudio Cargiolli was born in Ponzanello in 1952, a small village near Fosdinovo, Massa Carrara.
He attended the Art High School and then later the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, the city where he lives and works. From the beginning, curious, free, he favors imagination and fantasy, far from any concession to fashion, but always attentive and rigorous in the search for good painting and in experimenting with the ancient techniques and pictorial devices most congenial to him. From 1968 onwards he participated in numerous painting exhibitions at a very young age. His first solo exhibition took place in 1971, at the "Fillungo" gallery in Lucca, curated by the critic and great art historian Pier Carlo Santini, who followed him for many years in his artistic research. With these early experiences, he continued his journey until graduating from the Academy in 1974. The painting of those years, of training, research, experimentation, is characterized by a production dominated by enigmatic subjects, figures with faces erased and composed in fragments. From 1983 and in the years that followed, Cargiolli managed to assign order to his visions and form to his dreams, painting began to consolidate precisely to the extent that volumes, shapes and objects were placed on the canvas in a fantastic story. The juxtapositions bordering on inconsistency between different scenes, visions and descriptions contribute to the construction of a metaphysical reality, suffused with poetry, unreal and yet reassuring, despite its impossibility. This process of research and work increased and took shape in the second half of the 1980s; in fact, from that period began the collaboration with the Forni gallery in Bologna and the highly prestigious exhibition cycle in Italy and abroad. Among the numerous personal exhibitions and collective participations, the anthologies held at Palazzo Ducale in Massa and Palazzo Ducale in Urbino are worth mentioning.
Today Cargiolli, in his incessant improvement, composes increasingly less crowded images, high definition images, dreamy, pure, timeless, intended for a private conversation, until they condense into a tenderness of affections that are authentic acts of love.
