Gioacchino pontrelli biography of albert

Gioacchino Pontrelli was born in Salerno in 1966.

After training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, Pontrelli began his research in the field of the interpretation and revisitation of objects that define the current reality in which we all live in.

After selecting the images, often taken from interior design magazines, Pontrelli began work on his canvas, preparing the surface and choosing the right colours to give life to his work. The human elements emerge from the figures of armchairs, chairs and tables placed on the canvas, being transformed into icons, in still lifes.
The artist works using artificial light as a way to perceive exactly what people perceive and live reality today.

Lastly, the diptych became a fundamental element in Pontrelli’s research, creating an interaction between the two parties.
