Gianni Piacentino Art
Italian, b. 1945
Gianni Piacentino is an Italian artist, known for his sculpture and painting inspired by motorcycles, automobiles and planes. Indeed, he began constructing angular metallic sculptures in the 1960s. Although his works bear a visual affinity to Minimalist Art, his sculptures are inspired by the artist’s interest in speed and industrial design. Piacentino originally belonged to the Italian movement of Arte Povera, but in 1967 he turned towards “The Aesthetics of Technology”, as he said. His metal sculptures resemble prototypes or designs of cars, bikes and flying devices. The sculptural forms are vehicles for matte and metallic colors and they are evocative of 1960s automobile design, which used color and line to convey speed and motion.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Edward Landon dropped out of high school to study art at the Hartford Art School. In 1930 and 1931 he was a student of Jean Charlot at the Art Students League in New York, after which he traveled to Mexico to study privately for a year with Carlos Merida. In 1933 he settled near Springfield, Massachusetts, painted murals in the local trade school, and exhibited with the Springfield Art League. His painting 'Memorial Day' won first prize at the fifteenth annual exhibition of the League at the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts. Landon became an active member of the Artists Union of Western Massachusetts, serving as president from 1934-1938.
Landon acquired Anthony Velonis’s instructional pamphlet on the technique of serigraphy in the late 1930s. With colleagues Phillip Hicken, Donald Reichert, and Pauline Stiriss, he began experimenting with screen printing techniques. The artists' groundbreaking work in screen printing as a fine art medium was the subject of the group’s landmark exhibition at the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts in 1940.
Landon became one of the founding members of the National Serigraph Society and served as editor of its publication, 'Serigraph Quarterly,' in the late 1940s and as its president in 1952 and 1953. The Norlyst Gallery in Manhattan held a one-person show of his prints in 1945. Awarded a Fulbright Fellowship in 1950, Landon traveled to Norway, where he researched the history of local artistic traditions and produced the book 'Scandinavian Design: Picture and Rune Stones...
