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.

Pleased to Meet You Again
Located in North Adams, MA
Silkscreen in 9 colors on 320 gram Coventry Rag Dimensions: 29" x 29" Signed by the Artists in pencil An edition of 75 John “CRASH” Matos and Eric Orr met for the first time as high school students. Although the exact location is unclear, both agree that it would have been at either Fashion Moda or the Writers’ Bench at 149th Street and Grand Concourse. Founded by Stefan Eins in 1978, Fashion Moda began as a “cultural concept” whose principles revolved around the fact that art can be made by anyone, anywhere and art should be accessible to anyone, anywhere. Located in the South Bronx, Fashion Moda embraced new talent and encouraged creative production across all mediums. The gallery has been credited as a major force behind the recognition of graffiti writing as an art form and it played a pivotal role in a community where Hip Hop was rapidly emerging. CRASH was only 19 years old when he curated “Graffiti Art Success for America” at Fashion Moda and his varied experiences at the gallery would later inspire his founding of WALLWORKS. The 149th Street Writers’ Bench, located at the back of the uptown...
