Framed dimensions:40 15/16 by 33 1/16 in (104 by 84cm) Signed (reverse) Salvo born in 1947 as Salvatore Mangione in Leonforte (Italy), he began his artistic career with a focus on conceptual sculpture and photography, After moving to Turin, Salvo's artistic evolution was influenced by his exposure to Arte Povera and encounters with influential figures like Sol LeWitt, Robert Barry, and Joseph Kosuth. A turning point occurred in 1973, when Salvo transitioned to painting, brilliantly merging the avant-garde conceptualism of his early work with a vibrant and representational painterly style. This metamorphosis was ignited by a fateful encounter with the metaphysical painter Giorgio de Chirico in Rome, whose works' dreamlike quality resonates in Salvo's distilled forms and otherworldly panoramas.
