Edoardo Piermattei
Born in Ancona in 1992, Edoardo Piermattei currently lives and works in To- rino, where, after opening the off-space SpazioBuonasera, together with other five artists in 2015, he opened his first studio in 2016.
His work origines from the shapes – pittorical first, architectural after – be- longing to the medieval and baroque imaginery, moving from the study of the missing fragments in the frescoes inside the Basilica of Assisi. The shapes that the artist traces through his works, mainly made of concrete and pigments, re- present suggestions of vanished or invisible images: the empty space fills itself, the absences become presences.
In April 2018, within the framework of the Italian Villages Project by Airbnb, Piermattei painted a vault with concrete and pigments and created a canopy for a house in Sambuca, Sicily. During Supersalone 2021 in Milan, he presented his first collection of rugs Dagallà in collaboration with the brand CC-tapis.Among his solo shows: Patroni, Galleria Brambilla, Bergamo (2017); Portici, pale, piaz- za, Arte Fiera Bologna (2018); Appunti per un miracolo permanente, Quartz Studio, Turin (2021). Among his group shows: Amore 200 Kulturbanhof, Kassel (2022); Sabaudade, Las Palmas, Lisbon (2019); Innesti, Studio Nucleo, Turin (2018).
