About the Item

Operazione Crossbow, geometric abstract, white, gray and black. Fabrizio Breschi Painter – Sculptor International painter/sculptor Fabrizio Breschi was born in Livorno, Italy in 1950. Livorno  greatly influenced Breschi’s art from childhood. He expressed reality through architectural-geometric shapes transformed into industrial landscapes, surreal seascapes, and robots.  “I amused myself depicting the human race in the guise of robots, adding a surreal note to  observed daily activities. I sought to glimpse the ultimate destiny of a technological society.” At the age of four Breschi was winning awards and encouraged to pursue a career in art.  He was accepted at Liceo Artistico in Florence and later Florence’s Academy of Fine Arts  where he became an assistant professor at the age of 23 and at 35 Breschi was the youngest professor-lecturer in the history of the prestigious Brera Academy, Milano, to hold the painting chair –– truly a great honor. Breschi layers matte acrylic paints to resemble polished chrome, creating gleaming tubes that course between canvases like elaborate mechanical systems –– a 3-dimensional sculpted- an effect that is a technique of his own. “My pleasure derives from the difficulty involved with  obtaining those hues with a brush, a process where I challenge the technological means  developed in our time.” Breschi retired from teaching in 2007 to immerse himself in painting and sculpture. He has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, and the United States. His work is in museums and corporate and private collections. His multi-media sculpture Cycladic Today is on the facade of the Goulandris Foundation Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens. Love Story, a 25-foot tall metal sculpture is in the Piazza della Vittoria in central Livorno. A smaller sculpture, Twin Towers is in the garden of the Fondazione Trossi Uberti, Livorno. October 2017 – December 2017 he had a solo exhibition at the FR Gillette Gallery in Hudson, New York. His robots were a feature at the First International Conference on Soft Robotics sponsored by the Pisa Biorobotics Institute in April 2018. Breschi was honored by his hometown city with a retrospective exhibition of his work at the Museo Civico G. Fattori: BRESCHI: 1976 – 2016, a 40-year retrospective for an artist truly  40-years ahead of his time.
