"Paolo Barozzi, a passion for art" is the photographic book of the artist and also writer Ottavio Pinarello, this volume published by ArteCom (Rome) has the introduction of the famous italian art critic Gillo Dorfles. Also introduced at Venice Biennale (Ca' Giustinian) and at "Spazio Krizia" in Milan. Paolo Barozzi was close friend and personal assistant of Peggy Guggenheim in Venice in the '60, and then well-known art dealer in Venice and Milan. Barozzi has exhibited not only famous italian artists (like Rotella, Vedova, Parmeggiani, Dorazio, ...), but, also in consideration of his contacts with Leo Castelli (New York), is one of the earliest who exhibited in Italy artists like Jasper Johns, Dennis Hoppenheim, Lichtenstein, Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Allan Kaprow, Joseph Kossuth ..., just to remember some names; he was also in touch with the Denise René Gallery in Paris, so he realized in co-operation many exhibitions with Victor Vasarely too. Paolo Barozzi is promoter of Pinarello's works too...

 

 

OPEN 13, EXHIBITED "BLINDFOLDED PROFILE" - "GAGGED PROFILE" - INSTALLATION

Ottavio Pinarello represents Italy at OPEN 13, the International Exhibition of Sculptures and Installations at Venice Lido. OPEN is a collateral event to the 67th Venice International Film Festival and to the Venice Architecture Biennale 2010, and was opened the first of September at the well known Excelsior Hotel. For OPEN 13 Pinarello shows an installation based on his 2006 paintings "Blindfolded Profile" - "Gagged Profile". The image of "Gagged Profile" has recently been used in Italy, without the authorization of the author and without the due declaration of paternity, as symbol of the protests "No Gag" against the Decree of the italian Government about the telephone interceptions, in consequence of this the unduly exploited image of the art work has been communicated for weeks on all the national most important means of information.

- The next profile is from an article published on "Arte Contemporanea",
number of January-February 2007, pages 103-104)

Ottavio Pinarello, a young Paduan artist [a city near Venice in Italy], grew up in a rich atmosphere of artistic-literary stimuli. His classical studies concurred to deepen in him a humanistic vision through historic, literary and philosophical knowledge, and a natural tendency to the reflection on the qualifying meanings of life. He has devoted himself with passion to studies on history of art and painting, perceiving for this expressive shape a particular and natural predisposition that has carried him to express his own feelings and emotions in his works. After a first short figurative period, his art matures in a pure abstract phase. In it appears a deep interest of the artist for the substance, in a continuous flow and upheaval, until clarifying a series of feelings and allusions. Subsequently, the wish to deepen this search, intersected with a renewed will to explore human feelings, leads him to progressively enter in a new "symbolistic" phase. In it the artist, through the particular use of the human figure and the human profile, wants to explore some deep aspects of the soul, and its relationships with the feelings, the passions, the substance and the materiality. He aims to assign a human face both to real objects, idealizing them and attributing further meanings, and abstract concepts, decoding and making them concrete. The full mastery of the use of the colour and the personal, unique, ingenious style confer a strong and innovating intensity to the pictorial representation of the artist. Ottavio Pinarello with his paintings carries and involves his audience in a metaphysical and, at the same time, a real world and space, transmitting to them mysterious, enigmatic and engaging feelings....
