Gianluca Concialdi

Gianluca Concialdi was born in 1981 in Palermo; Concialdi lives and works in Palermo.

The practice of Gianluca Concialdi embraces territories located between painting, sculpture and installations. With his works he investigates how architectural spaces and structures can be considered themselves informal or minimal pictorial elements. Concialdi mainly works with installations populated by sculptures, figures and images that emphasize a surreal and metaphysical dimension, hidden in the everyday experience. His research investigates the tension and exchanges between local and global, in particular in relation to the Mediterranean area and its coexistence of diversities. His pictorial practice is searching the ephemerality and truthfulness of experience.
