Giorgio Tentolini

After internships with artists like Marco Nereo Rotelli, he began a personal research with photographic installations, obtaining significant art prizes.

Each of his works stems from a specific research on Time as memory and identity, in a careful and slow reconstruction that takes place with the study of light and the etching of layers of different materials such as fabric, paper, PVC. Tulle and masking tape are the current medium of his research for the meditative levity that they put into the image, a metaphor of places and memories, dreams and visions. A pictorial work which crosses the frontier of reality of sculpture.
