Hi, I have a degree in italian literature (University of Milan). I am a visual artist living between Italy and New York. In 2005 17 of my drawings became part of the Moma collection, department of drawings.
I have studied also at the New York Film Academy, where I made some short movies starring prevalently fishes.
I wrote 2 novels: one was published in Italy (2002) the title is "Halos looking for saints"
my second novel (2007) is not published yet, the title is
"What's falling from your eyes"
I'm gonna have my next solo show in Milan in May 2008 with my new sculptures and drawings. ( at francesca Minini gallery, www.francescaminini.it)
about my drawings:I usually express myself with a pen and paper, since I was a kid.My drawings are small, fast, they pretend to be smart, sometimes they are very stupid. They talk about ordinary things, or little visions I have in mind , they talk about the world..., the art world too.I imagine them as little birds flying in the air..in the end It's difficult for me to talk about my drawings, I think they are better than me, also as a person.The best thing to say it's maybe that if you find a drawing in your body, you are a drawing too.thank you for your attention. My drawings say hi.ciaogabriele picco-------------------------------------------------------
