Giovanni Rizzoli
Creator of forms through material
elements belonging to the essence of Venice,
and through the use of transcendent dimensions, the iconographic universe of Giovanni Rizzoli realizes sculptures,
paintings and drawings presenting a vision of Venice both personal and
universal, hidden and cliche, loved
and suffered, but always present in the creative path of the artist’s work,
that is able to sublimate the most intimate experiences of his own being.

Giovanni Rizzoli’s way of expression creates an artistic language
that is aesthetical, scientific, religious and poetic. In this show the city of
Venice seems to turn into a metaphor
of his investigation concerning the time-space of infinity and eternity, of
life and death, dimensions evocated by the artist through works that are both
enigmatic as strongly defined. His poetic brings together opposite forms of
expression, achieving both abstract and realistic and morbid elements and showing
a vision of Venice through images that are more emotional than descriptive.
