Gabriele Amadori Biography
GABRIELE AMADORI (Ferrara, 1945) He trained in the 1960s at the multimedia experimental center of the Laterna Magika in Prague. He was assistant to Vedova, Baratella and pupil of Arcangeli. Gabriele Amadori, painter, set designer and light designer, is an atypical creator who has been pursuing a courageous and solitary path for many years: that of interdisciplinary research between art, music, architecture and scenography. Amadori stages fluctuating visions of shadow and light, designs sets and costumes for operas all over the world, designs light installations for monuments, urban spaces and exhibitions, creates performances in a constant metamorphosis of gestures, sounds and colour. A profound connoisseur of music and the history of theatre, professor of scenography and light design at the Milan Polytechnic and at the Paolo Grassi School of Dramatic Art in Milan, Gabriele Amadori urges us to "see" the music and "listen" to the images. In his Music Painting Performances, Amadori converts musical abstractions into matter, movement, changing colour, creating an experience that for many would seem impossible: the compositions restore unity to the creative gesture, they bring the spectator back to that unity of feeling, of sensitivity, of perceptive finesse, soliciting a space-time epiphany that is both modern and primordial. In his experience as a performer he has created 90 events with internationally renowned musicians, in theatres, museum spaces, private galleries and universities, in Italy and in some European Union countries.
