Giorgio Griffa - Untitled
Technique: Graphite on paper
Artist Biography: Giorgio Griffa was born in Turin, Italy, in 1936 and became interested in painting as a child. Although initially trained as a traditional painter, in the late 1960s he began experimenting with abstract works and developing his own personal poetry, and was part of a group of artists, including Giovanni Anselmo, Gilberto Zorio, Giulio Paolini, and Mario and Marisa Merz, who transformed post-war Italian art in Turin in the mid-1960s. However, Griffa did not gain international recognition until well into his career, despite having exhibited at the São Paulo Biennial in 1977 and the Venice Biennial in 1978 and 1980. It would not be until the 21st century that his work would receive the recognition it deserved with several solo exhibitions in important museums and galleries around the world.Griffa's work focuses on materiality and is reduced to the essential elements such as canvas, color and brushstroke. His canvases often feature wrinkles that have formed during storage, which adds a kind of grid in his compositions. Although he has been associated with movements such as Arte Povera, Analytical Painting, Pittura-Pittura and Minimalism, Giorgio Griffa's artistic career remains mostly solitary, outside of a specific current.
