ANDIPA GALLERY in association with the ROYAL BRITISH SOCIETY OF SCULPTORS is proud to announce the winner of SPOTLIGHT 2015, Giorgio Bevignani!

Born in Italy, RBS Member Giorgio Bevignani currently lives and works in Bologna, Italy. In his studio located in the countryside outside Bologna, he molds and forms diverse materials into distinctive conglomerations that aggregate into larger constructions; relating the smaller elements to the larger form which are then arranged and mounted together to create a larger, cohesive work.

His creativity emerges in the elegant combination of technical skill and conceptual knowledge. His profound study of history, contemporary science, mythology, philosophy and mathematics greatly influences his work. Using special patinas, phosphorus tints and colors, his idiosyncrasy of composition and form, both playful and magical, combined and merged with a certain charm, create something new to the world.

Bevignani’s work is significant across many themes: connection to nature, culture, science and his use of positive and negative spaces filled with awareness of form create a body of work that seems to float and go beyond our understanding of gravity, time, space, light and balance.

Please help us welcome Giorgio Bevignani on Thursday 10 December at 6-8 pm for the Artist Reception and Private View of his award winning artwork, ‘I’m Ready to Live’, 2015. See the Exhibitions page for more details or contact the gallery directly to RSVP (art@andipa.com).
