The author of the Cign'Oro label is the famous painter Bruno Donzelli.
Born in Naples in 1941, with a diploma obtained in the Neapolitan Academy of Fine Arts, he begins his artistic research and experimentation in the Sixties, under the influence of the Pop Art. A constant ironic vein and a strong will to re-examine the Italian avant-garde of the XXth century are the most evident and unmistakable characteristics of his unique style. He now lives in Caserta (Italy), but his frequent exhibitions in Italy and abroad take him often all around the world. These are only some of his works. |

"Donzelli, in his convincing dialogs with the History of Art, is the author of more than an original work. He is still continuing his sharp-witted and meditated artistic path. It is possible to admire Donzelli's works in a wide number of well-known art galleries. As an experienced and active artist, he is always in contact with new people and - moreover - he multiplies - day after day - his exhibitions. Energic and skilled, he "crosses" several art fairs to meet his future. His most astonishing characteristic is his continuous will to put himself to the test, through quotations or memories taken or enhanced by the most advanced trend of contemporary art. In a subtle game of references and extreme signals he lays out sparkling shades of colour and creates meaningful forms. He takes, basically from past contexts and circumstances, traces, documents, writings, memories, notes, evidences, acts giving them new life in an essentially playful combination. Donzelli proposes an evocative and charming style softened by enlightening mediations and by valuable technical devices. The artist meditates, develops and unveils our contemporary age balancing it with the awareness of an articulate "déja-vu", justifying - at the same time - a well-recognizable language." |
