Giuseppe Ansovino Cappelli

Giuseppe Ansovino Cappelli was born in Macerata, Italy, and currently resides in Rome. He is an artist, architect, and professor at the University of Rome. As a painter and architect, he primarily dedicates himself to teaching and research, a complex endeavor that began in the early 1980s. His work merges different disciplines, aspects of teaching, and theory, while also producing a vast amount of works, paintings, and drawings using various unique techniques. The central theme of his work is the relationship between the ever-present rational element and the element of chance. His work progresses in phases, involving in-depth exploration, division, and experimentation, yet consistently maintaining coherence and traceability according to life's times and events.

Since the late 1970s, Cappelli has experienced various periods of Italian art movements, integrating his thoughts and research into his creations. He has published works such as "Problems of Form" and "Before Rome·After Rome." In Cappelli's works, natural elements and totemic images are presented in a minimalist manner. This continuous flow between abstract research and a return to figuration forms the foundation of all his creations. He employs various painting techniques, from collage and pencil sketches to rhythmic and continuous carvings on wood, demonstrating a strong vitality. The elements of memory and reflections on symbols interweave, with "rigorous fantasy" becoming the soul of his artistic creation.
