Life


Chia was born in Florence, in Tuscany in central Italy, on 20 April 1946. He studied at the Istituto d'Arte di Firenze [it] from 1962 to 1967,[1] and then, until 1969, at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze.[2] He then travelled in Europe, in Turkey and in India.[4][5] He settled in Rome in 1970, and began to show work in the following year.[4][5] He spent the winter of 1980–1981 in Mönchengladbach, in Nordrhein-Westfalen in West Germany, on a study grant.[2] Later that year he moved to New York in the United States, where he lived for more than twenty years.[4][6] In 1984–1985 he taught at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan.[1]


Work


Chia's early work tended towards Conceptualism, but from the mid-1970s he began to turn towards more a figurative approach.[4][5] In June 1979 Paul Maenz [de] showed work by Chia, Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi, Nicola De Maria and Mimmo Paladino at his gallery in Cologne, in Germany.[7] In an article in Flash Art in the same year, the critic Achille Bonito Oliva characterised the group as a new art movement, which he called "Transavanguardia".[7]
