Framed work of chalk and paint on paper by VITO GALFANO (20/5/1946 Italy - 29/8/1995 Arnhem)
Vito Galfano was born in 1946 in Marsala, Sicily. He left for the Netherlands and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Arnhem in the second half of the 1970s. In his early years as an artist, he became best known for his sensational performances, 'Künstleraktionen' and 'practical jokes'.
His work of the last five years clearly shows the development from the challenging self-expression of his earlier years to a more contemplative way of painting. Vito Galfano's work then remains mainly dominated by symbols, which express both the bond with and the alienation from his motherland. With his colorful creamy palette he knows how to create warmth, the unmistakable, age-old influence of his homeland and the rituals of his youth.
Vito Galfano died of AIDS.
