Giuseppe Biasio (1928) - Lettera del Poeta

Work by Master Giuseppe Biasio published in Recent Works on page 34 Title: Letter from the Poet Mixed media on board 2010 Giuseppe Biasio (Piazzola sul Brenta - Padua, 1928) has shown artistic talent since childhood, so much so that the artist Dino Lazzaro, from first grade, takes him along and teaches him the basics of painting. He attends the Selvatico Institute in Padua where Amleto Sartori, his Plastica teacher, makes him understand that his vocation is to be an artist. Soon circumstances push him to go to Venezuela in search of work. He visits the museums of Caracas, but contact with the local artists, too realist, will not influence his art. Upon returning to Italy he is fascinated by the Great Masters, he looks at Caravaggio, but always with his own singular interpretation. He frequents Venetian circles where he meets Rauschenberg in 1964. This meeting is important because Biasio immediately assimilates and interprets in his own way the Master’s lesson, translating it into his painting language. In 1969 he exhibits in Milan at the gallery “G 15.” Subsequently he exhibits in Padua at the galleries “Jaccarino” and “La Chiocciola.” His passion for Eastern cultures leads him to important experiences abroad. He stays eight months in Saudi Arabia and exhibits in Tehran and Shiraz. During this experience he supports himself exclusively by selling his works. Upon returning to Italy he frequents the Venetian studio of Emilio Vedova with whom he participates in a study stay in Salzburg. He participates in numerous exhibitions, particularly at the Biennials of Triveneta Art and at the Pettenon Prize. In 1981, with Guglielmo Capuzzo, Guido Dragani, Antonio Sassu, Maurizio Stefanato and Antonio Zago, he founded the Veneto Group for Artistic Promotion LA MATITA. After years of quiet work in the City of the Saint, his work finally returns to the limelight in 2008, which indeed seems to be his year. The artist turns eighty years old. In April he holds a prestigious solo show at the Anfiteatro gallery. In September the Public Administration of Padua dedicates to him a retrospective exhibition at Rinascente gallery. At the end of the year he is chosen among the Padua artists for the usual 2009 calendar published by Fotolito Express of Limena, now in its XII edition."
