Artist's Statement -Paolo Avanzi is an Italian emerging artist. His artistic vein is younger than his age. Eclectic personality, he arrived at the visual arts after various experiences in fields such as piano music, psychology, creative writing and business organisation. His production, according to the art critics, belongs mainly to the abstract expressionism. Jackson Pollock in U.S.A. and Alberto Burri and Lucio Fontana in Italy represented this current; the same masters inspire Paolo Avanzi in his art progression.The eclecticism of the artist is reflected in the variety of forms, colours, media and inspiration as well as in the search of balancing a savage unknown instinct with an aspiration to a geometric world. The Avanzi's works are a sort of painted sculptures, something that emerges as an inusual feeling in the contemporary arena. Among the several material used, the plastic is that one favourite. The quality of the plastic artworks is demonstrated by the presence in the Museum Sandretto of Plastic Art.
