Carlo Lorenzetti Biography
Carlo Lorenzetti was born in 1934 in Rome, where he currently lives and works. He began exhibiting during the second half of the 1950s, bringing a substantial change in the approach to three-dimensional work and space. As a means of plastic research, he chose the metal plate which, thanks to a direct embossing process, manages to give the third dimension a contrast with the concept of weight. In 1962 he was invited to the Spoleto exhibition "Sculpture in the city", as the youngest sculptor alongside artists such as Arp, Calder, Moore and Smith. He participated in the Venice Biennials (1970, 1972 with personal room, 1976, 1986), in the Rome Quadrennials (1965, 1973 with personal room, 1986, 1999) and in the "Ferruzzi per l'arte" project, organized by AAM ( Modern Art Architecture) with Elements of condensation of light for the vault of the Palazzo delle Arti in Ravenna in 1991. He has exhibited in collective exhibitions in national and international museums, including Montreal, New York, Milan, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Madrid, Cologne , Vienna, Krakow, Ljubljana, Budapest, Basel, New Delhi, Tokyo, Bilbao, Buenos Aires, Moscow, Leningrad, Frankfurt am Main, Osaka and Brussels.
