Artist Information
Movement: Paladino was a central figure in the Transavanguardia movement that emerged in Italy during the late 1970s and 1980s. This movement aimed to bring emotion, figuration, and historical iconography back into avant-garde art, moving away from the conceptual and minimalist trends of the preceding decades.
Style: His work blends ancient and modern influences, often incorporating symbolic motifs like faces, hands, animals, and masks. His art style can be described as Neo-Expressionist or Figurative Expressionist.
Collections: Paladino's works are held in major public collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Tate Modern in London.
Notable Works/Installations: He is also known for large-scale public installations, such as The Salt Mountain in Naples, a large mound strewn with sculptures of horses. |
