Daniele Sigalot (1976) is a conceptual artist from Rome, Italy. After 7 years in advertising without convincing anyone to buy something they didn't need, Daniele Sigalot decided to move into the art world, where the superfluous is more necessary. So, he left Saatchi&Saatchi London to move to Berlin, where to not disappoint the stereotypes, he called his studio La Pizzeria. In 2019 he moved to Naples, where he finally found the order and organization that the German capital lacked. Sigalot’s work speaks through a personal artistic language, sometimes joyful, sometimes cynical, often absurd. With his thought-provoking expressions, his work transcends content, scale, and even time. Deeply ironical, Sigalot plays with materiality and its context, exploring the ambiguity of perception and inviting the observer to continually produce meanings. He plays dialectically with the concept of signifier and meaning in the perception and representation of colors, materials, context, situations, thoughts, idea. Coming from advertising industry background, he transforms his creative process into works of art, sharping an apparently futile and superficial language that, just thanks to this simpleness, arrives directly to the observer and strikes his mind. Since his first exhibition in 2006, his 40+ exhibitions around the world have shown his ouvre spanning diverse media such as text, aluminum, neon art and photography. The most notable were held at: Palazzo Tagliaferro, Savona 2021; Pulcri Studio, Den Haag, Holland 202; Milano’s Door, Malpensa Airport 2020-2021, Milan; MAM - Museo d'Arte Moderna dell'Alto Mantovano, Mantua 2018; Reggia di Caserta, Naples 2017; Palazzo Ducale, Genoa 2017; Museo archeologico, Potenza 2017; MOAD, Miami 2015; Palazzo Reale, Naples 2014; La Triennale, Milan 2013; Nanjing Biennial, Nanjing 2010; PAC - Padiglione Arte Contemporanea, Milan 2007.
