Giovanni De Lazzari(Italy/1977) lives and works between Bergamo and Milan.
De Lazzari’s work has never been classifiable within a project and his research probes the primitive nature of the artistic process. His work is not about current trends, but a temporality that necessarily precedes and disregards any exhibitory moment.
He has attended the Accademia G. Carrara di Belle Arti, in Bergamo in 2007 and in 2008 he has been invited at the FAR-Fondazione Antonio Ratti XIV Corso Superiore di Arti Visive. He teaches Artistic Anatomy at the G. Carrara Academy of Fine Arts in Bergamo and Painting I at the NABA in Milan.
