Gianni Politi

Gianni Politi (born 1986 in Rome) is an Italian artist. Using classic materials that are in keeping with Italy's pictorial tradition, Politi developed an approach straddling processes that are personal and that take place in the studio, even as he engages in producing images that would appear spontaneous. The studio thus morphs into both container and object of his work; the diverse output of his painting can even cross over in the use of sculpture to enable him to better narrate the struggle of being a contemporary painter. As he sets about redefining contemporary abstract painting the artist does not shy away from relying on personal experience and happenings in his life; as he channels paramount themes such as love, friendship and sexuality he keeps up a constant effort to idolise whatever materials he works with.
