giuseppe tirelli
The great art critic Edward Lucie- Smith has placed Giuseppe Tirelli among the important artists of “Italian neo-figurative sculpture".
Tirelli was born in Tanzania (Africa), where he spent part of his childhood and sometimes the African influence is reflected in his subjects.
Currently he lives and works in Piacenza (Italy) where he attended the Gazzola Institute of Fine Art in the late 80’s. The artist looks at ancient, Egyptian and Sumerian sculpture but at the same time he has always an eye towards the future. His subjects range from cybernetic sculptures, mystical characters, wildlife and futuristic elements. His art is timeless, past, present and future intertwine, creating an imaginary world. The elegance of his figures lies in the careful study of classical forms, revisited in a contemporary way.
He collaborates with important galleries all over the world and his sculptures have been bought by collectors from Europe, India, Brazil, the United States, Russia, Australia and other countries.
