Daniele Bruno Biography
Bruno Daniele was born in Alba in 1948, where he lives and works. He graduated in Advertising Graphics in Turin and followed nude courses at Pippo Bercetti's studio. For his activity as an engraver, he attended the copperplate school at the Raffaello Academy in Urbino. After the figurative works of his early days aimed at a painting of social and ecological commitment, in the early 1980s Daniele oriented himself towards an informal painting of matter, under the influence of Burri and Gallizio, making use of the most disparate materials, from jute to cardboard , from tar to polystyrene, from oxides to epoxy resins. He starts a new path called Movimenti di materia in which he also experiments with the use of round formats and triptychs, with a highly gestural painting, the color desecrated by the sabers of black and, however, enhanced by small openings, by white spaces. “Bruno Daniele – Francesco Lodola wrote about him -, in almost thirty years of serious and motivated artistic militancy, has established himself as a rare example of stylistically resolved and poetically authentic neo-informal painting. Because its roots, like those of the centuries-old Langa vines in the marly soil of the hills, lie in the critical investigation of that language and the nourishment that painting draws from it, Bruno substantiates it with pregnant and contemporary contents". He has held many solo exhibitions in Italy and abroad and his works are present in various public and private collections (Turin, Milan, Genoa, Bologna, Rome, Paris, Munich, Melbourne, Boblingen, Nuremberg).
