Carlo Ramous Biography
Ramous Carlo (Milan, 1926-2003) He attended the Art School at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, and then continued his studies at the Brera Academy with Marino Marini and Giacomo Manzù. Subsequently he dedicated himself to Italian abstract sculpture, combining dynamic tension with plastic presence. The geometric spatiality is emphasized by a game of balances, which challenge the heaviness and rigidity of the materials. He organized personal installations in important museums and galleries, such as the Galleria Il Milione (Milan), Piazzetta Reale (La Spezia), Ca' Pesaro Museum of Modern Art (Venice), Gallery of Modern Art in Milan. He participated in important exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale, Rome Quadrennial, Sao Paulo Biennial (Brazil), Milan Triennale and other international exhibitions from Paris to Tokyo, from Rome to London, from Oslo to Milan, from New York to Antwerp. In the 1980s Ramous elaborated his research in a series of sketches, made of zinc sheet.
