Daniele Galliano
For this solo show, Daniele Galliano has created a series of paintings of interiors animated by the generational figures that have often featured in his work as a figurative artist.
There are at least two completely new elements that render this exhibition special: the size of the works and their subjects. Although Galliano has collaborated for many years with the gallery, this is his first show in the new, larger via Stoppani exhibit spaces—a significant factor in his choice of medium- and large-scale pieces. The exhibition opens with the symbolically titled work Quando provo a fare meditazione sono sempre parecchio disturbato (When I Try to Meditate I’m Always Interrupted). In the 150 x 250 cm canvas, numerous images from Galliano’s recent figurative pieces are reproduced in a fragmentary fashion.
Galliano has long been noted for his interest in the many and varied aspects of urban life: the concept of the news; the alienation of youth culture; nightlife; inter-generational relationships; sexuality.
In this exhibition, his analytical eye and emotional involvement are concentrated exclusively on very particular interiors dwelt in by people to whom he is close.
As Gianni Romano writes in his introductory essay to the catalogue that accompanies the exhibition: “Galliano’s models, like those of Nan Goldin or other like-minded photographers of daily life, show such complicity with the artist that they are not disturbed by his presence; in a certain sense, the protagonists collaborate with the artist’s “disappearance” from the shot, although he reappears in their gestures and in their little daily routines.”
Daniele Galliano was born in Pinerolo in 1961. He began showing in Turin (where he lives and works) and quickly made his mark on the new Italian painting wave that was starting to take shape at the end of the ’80s. His “photographic realism” soon began to get attention from abroad as well, providing him with the chance to hold important solo shows and participate in group exhibitions throughout Europe and the US. Galliano, moreover, is one of the few young Italian artists to be known by a broad section of the general public as well as by those who are devotees of his work.
