Giulio Spolverato Art Prints and Posters

BIOGRAPHY

Born in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, Giulio Spolverato attended a Comprehensive High School where he took up the study of art. It was here that he found a way to follow carefully even though at an early age the most important English painters that his teachers indicated to him through his studies.

He came back to Italy in 1974 where he continued his art studies at the ISTITUTO TECNICO DARTE in the city of SALERNO and after obtaining his diploma in art he took up architecture at the university of Naples.

Giulio Spolverato's paintings bring to the surface the hidden world of dreams that is often tinted with symbolic evocations.

It is very clear that at the root of his artistic story there lies a perfectly detailed drawing that is supported by a specific and mature knowledge of colour. This is clearly visible both in the immensities of the landscapes and in the human figures often faces that are brought out of reality, and even out of dreams through a fascinating image-figure combination.

In 1993 Giulio Spolverato was awarded with one of the most prestigious rewards for visual arts "PREMIO AMBIENTE" with a jury that was composed of GILLO DORLFES, EVERARDO DALLA NOCE, GIULIANO SORIA, JANUS, DONATO CONENNA, MAURIZIO VANNI, and others.

ART CRITICISM

Giulio Spolverato's pictorial language seems to take origin from the new-figurative naturalistic archetypes of the American paintings of the sixties where we find the hyper-realistic and pop factions that bring to our minds names like John De Andrea and Andy Warhol.

Traces of this influence can be found in one of Spolverato's paintings: "Water Enables Life To Live" - 1981 but immediately after wards in 1984, Spolverato begins to look up and watch the sky.

He could do it like Magritte, numerous paintings demonstrate clearly his linguistic capacity. But the god, or rather the astral demon of a post-ozone world takes a firm hold on this young artist and leads him to deep thoughts about the destiny of our Holy Mother Earth.

We could say that Giulio Spolverato has the courage to enter into a sort of Time Machine and relate back precisely with intense colors and figures the worlds that he visits.

It is without doubt that he has the capacity to leave us enthralled by relating to us on canvas his many voyages.
