Giuseppe Veneziano

Giuseppe Veneziano (Mazzarino, 1971) lives and works between Milan and Pietrasanta. Trained as an architect, he later dedicated himself entirely to art, becoming one of the leading figures of the Italian Newbrow movement. His painting merges pop culture, art history and current events, often through iconographic mash-ups. He took part in the 54ª Venice Biennale (Padiglione Italia, 2011), in the Prague Biennale (2009), in the St. Petersburg Biennale (2007), and his work was part of the show Artâthlos on the occasion of Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. His artwork has been exhibited in major public venues such as Palazzo Reale and Triennale in Milan, Museo RISO in Palermo, MART in Rovereto, Galleria Civica in Trento,Musei Capitolini in Rome, Museo Pecci in Prato, Palazzo Ducale in Massa and Museum of Modern Art in Shangai. Known for his visual impact and communicative strength, his work reflects on the myths and themes of contemporary society with irony and sharp critical insight.
