About the Item

Fabrizio Lavagna was born on December 18, 1971 in Savona. Began to frequent the circles of artistic contemporaries since 2004, when he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara by attending the painting course by Omar Galliani. In 2006 he was the winner of the Erasmus scholarship from the University of Bellas Artes de Murcia, an experience that will affect his entire artistic production. In 2008, he graduated with a thesis entitled "Pictorial materials in their epochal mutability" obtaining a score of 110 with honors. In the same year he was invited to participate in a master's degree in sacred art Stauros at the Museum of Sacred Art and the contemporary island of San Gabriel Teramo. From 2008 to 2010 he participated in the "Advanced Course in the Art of Liturgy" with artists such as Casciello Angelo Giuliano Giuliani at Scopoli Castle. In 2011, he finished his studies and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara with 110 with honors with a thesis entitled “Materials in the contemporary.” Since 2010 he lives and works in France. In the works of Fabrizio Lavagna, the art flows in the realizations that mix elegant female bodies with materials of everyday use, creating paradoxes of aesthetic impact. During his career, the artist has experimented with different techniques and different types of media, from simple sheets of raw cotton, through second-hand jeans, to finally pieces of used tires. The chosen materials are the pivot around which the artist's creativity develops, losing their daily functionality will attract another, finding a place in a work of art and becoming the object. Lavagna brings art to its more real dimension, where the self-referentiality that characterizes contemporary art is left aside in favor of the immediacy that characterizes all of his artistic production.

  • Life in Yellow # 108515
    By Carlos Tirado
    Located in ATLANTA, GA
    Carlos J. Tirado (born on April 3, 1964 in Caracas, Venezuela) is an artist, painter and sculptor who has developed a very personal and precise line of work linked to Neo-Pop art. With plenty of personal art exhibitions, Tirado has participated in numerous collective exhibitions, receiving different awards such as “III Premio de Escultura” del Certamen Aires de Córdoba in 2004 and other recognitions, among them, at the Venezuelan Embassy in DC (2005), and the X Latin Art Festival of Atlanta (2005). Childhood Tirado grew up in an upper-middle-class family environment. His inclination for the arts started from an early age. At 8 years old, he was already experimenting with tridimensional forms, creating molds out of cast lead from pieces previously gathered on the streets. These first artistic experiences led by his inquisitive nature, provided the ground to continue exploring the possibilities with different materials like wood, waste and plaster. His childhood games were centered around painting and sculpting, which played an important role that ranged from recreational to aesthetics. When Tirado turned 12 years of age, his parents agreed for him to attend private art classes with professor Javier Hernandez in Caracas. Later on, he realized that Art was a profession that required investment in materials, reason that led him to work at a furniture store painting landscapes and figurative art to decorate the exhibit room. He created numerous paintings of Caracas’ famous mountain: El Avila, and other art pieces that not only served as a source of income, but more importantly, led him to deepen his figurative expression. In 1985, he started drawing comic sets for a renowned newspaper El Diario de Caracas, alongside Jorge Blanco...
