Biography
Gio’ Frigo was born on 11 September 1993 in Arzignano, Vicenza (IT).
Following in his father’s footsteps, he has always lived in contact with Art and in contemporary artists since he was a child. From them, he learnt to recognize Art as a means of expression, in constant evolution.
He began his studies at the Institute of Art of Venice and completed them at the School of Art and Crafts of Vicenza, joining the metalwork and jewelery branch.
At the beginning of his artistic career, he acquired experience in processing precious metals and in the creation and design of jewelery items. But that world was too tight for him and he decided to focused on sculpture. Looking for more innovative shapes and ways of expression, he found sculpture congenial to him.
He successfully showed his first opera at the Orler Gallery in Venice.
His Art is characterized by the opposition of sharp blades with balls, cones and more soft and sinuous curves, in a constant plastic clash. His aim is to give form to the contrasts and contradictions of the contemporary society.
A point of departure are sphere and egg shape: perfect figures that can be found in every artworks as an arrival point, well-defined and desired.
Imaginary perfection is based on different materials such as metals and woods, which are able to communicate artist’s emotions since the planning steps. Reality and imagination are melted together with slight differences as a demonstration of emotional undertones in the finished sculpture. Every artwork comes from feelings, sensations and moments converting into shapes. A continue upward movement shows a spiritual elevation, inviting the viewer not to stand idly but to discover new horizons.
