Manuel Felisi

He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera. In his artworks he uses painting, photography, and collage to create the installations through which he translates and tells time. The common thread that binds his production is a topic that concerns all of us, our being and existing, here and now; time with its passing changes things, preserves them and makes them forget.

His works are composed of layers of different materials that always follow the same scientific order, like a ritual – from painting to print – never to be confused with the mechanical nature and repetitiveness as it is always the result of the involvement and feelings that drive the artistic doing of Felisi.

His first solo exhibition in 2002 with Biografie in which he combines painting and sculpture displayed at Spazio Isola in Milan. In 2008 with the solo exhibition Nato a Milano Lambrate curated by Alberto Mattia Martini at Fabbrica Eos of Milan. In 2010, always in Milan, he prepared another two solo exhibitions: Flowers curated by Ivan Quaroni at Fabbrica Eos and Letteralmente at the Visionnaire Design Gallery.

In 2015 the solo exhibition Di-Vento at Galleria Glauco Cavaciuti of Milan and Su-Acqua curated by Markus Graf at the Russo Art Gallery of Istanbul. In 2012 and 2014 he participated in the Beijing Biennale. In 1997 his first collective exhibition at Sala Napoleonica Brera of Milan. In 2008 he took part in Architetture Sensibili curated by Linda Giusti at Castello di Rivara in Turin; created an installation at Miami Art Basel Event with Laure De Mazieres in Design District of Miami and he participated in the event Opening Visionnaire Design Gallery of Milan.
