Marco Ceravolo Biography
Marco Ceravolo (1962 - ) was born in 1962 in Bergamo. Ceravolo's artistic career unfolds following a path that from his first experiences leads him to face, with extreme imagination, the problems of assembling feeling and the instrument, that is, the materials used as a means of immediate expressiveness. The first solo exhibition dates back to 1977, when the artist exhibited a selection of abstract works at the Galleria Il Vicolo, in his hometown. After completing his academic training, of which the years of study at the Faculty of Architecture of the Polytechnic of Milan were particularly relevant, Ceravolo began an intense exhibition activity starting from March 1993. With the exhibition at the Panalba Gallery of Marseille reaches the international public by addressing the theme of the "secret space" and proposes a series of female nudes. The same year he participated in the international competition Novum Comun '93 and won the First Prize for the “Modem Figurative Tendency”, thanks to the work Ancient Still Life. The exhibition of a series of landscapes at the Bocconi University in Milan dates back to 1995. The exhibition project continues with participation in the Expo Arte in Bari, the exhibition at the Galleria Balestra in Portovenere, the solo exhibition at the Galleria the Stugio G. Gallery in Milan, the “Opera Assente” exhibition at the Charta Gallery in Bergamo, the exhibition at the Pinacoteca Comunale d’Arte Contemporanea in Ruffano and the anthological exhibition of landscapes and portraits at the Schaer und Wildbolz Gallery in Solothurn, in Switzerland. Supported by lively and constant exhibition promotion, Ceravolo offers a figuration heterogeneously contaminated by the graphic traditions of the past.
