History


Silvio Formichetti was born in 1969 in Pratola Peligna, in the province of L'Aquila. Formichetti's first works centred around two themes: the landscapes of Abruzzo and female nudes

Since the mid-1990s, he became intrigued by the informal painting of Jackson Pollock and his dripping technique, known as Action Painting. The works of Hans Hartung and Formichetti's compatriots Afro Basaldella and Emilio Vedova were also a source of inspiration for his own abstract style of painting.[3]

Most of his paintings are characterized by powerful primary colours such as red, yellow and blue, combined with black and white. Formichetti's visual style has evolved over the years, but remains colourful, emotionally charged and experimental. Since 1999 he has also incorporated more symbolism into his works. He expresses himself through two fundamental instruments: paint brushes and spatulas.[4]

On the request of Vittorio Sgarbi, Silvio Formichetti was in 2011 one of the exhibitors at the Italian Pavilion of the 54th Venice Biennale.[5][6] Since then he is considered as one of the major Italian representatives of informal painting.[7]

For years Formichetti has also realized works of live painting and bodypainting. His performances manage to reach an ever-increasing audience through the power of artistic expression.[8][9][10]

His work has been exhibited in several museums in Italy, Bulgaria and Germany.[11] In November 2013, a solo exhibition took place at the European Parliament in Brussels in the Altiero Spinelli building.[12][13] This exhibition, curated by the artist, included twenty medium-sized works created especially for the event.[14][15][16]

Formichetti has art studios in Pratola Peligna, Rome and Vomero (Naples). His studio in Pratola Peligna has already been visited by several fellow artists, including Mark Kostabi.[17]

In 2014 Formichetti was a guest on three occasions in the actuaprogram TG2 Italia, RAI's news channel.[18] A year later, art expert Stefano Sassi made a documentary for the RAI about the life and art of Silvio Formichetti, which has been broadcast on Rai 5.[19]
