UMBERTO MANZO
Unmistakable figures in Umberto Manzo’s language are the body and memory, elements that the artist has been investigating since the 1980’s, using heterogeneous materials and techniques such as photographic emulsion, graphite, oils, colours, vegetable glues and wax on supports such as paper or canvas.
In his “memory archives” he layers his drawings and places them in the thickness of the frame, then creating on the surface the outlines of classical herms or profiles of faces, through which the papers re-emerge with infinite narratives.
Umberto Manzo has exhibited in numerous public and private venues both in Italy and abroad. His works are included in leading, international private collections. A large-scale work has been permanently installed in the Cilea Station of the Naples Metro System and some pieces are part of the Capodimonte Museum and the Madre Museum collections in Naples. He has been working with Studio Trisorio since 1987.
Cifre inconfondibili del linguaggio di Umberto Manzo sono il corpo e la memoria, elementi che l’artista indaga fin dagli anni Ottanta confrontandosi con materiali e tecniche eterogenei come l’emulsione fotografica, la grafite, gli oli, i colori, le colle vegetali e la cera che utilizza su supporti quali la carta o la tela.
Nei suoi “archivi della memoria” stratifica i suoi disegni e li colloca nello spessore del telaio creando poi in superficie sagome di erme classiche o profili di volti, attraverso i quali riemergono le carte con infinite narrazioni.
Umberto Manzo ha esposto in gallerie e spazi pubblici in Italia e all’estero. Le sue opere fanno parte di importanti collezioni private internazionali. Un suo lavoro di grandi dimensioni è installato in permanenza nella Stazione Cilea della Metropolitana di Napoli e alcune sue opere fanno parte delle collezioni del Museo di Capodimonte e del Museo Madre di Napoli. È rappresentato dallo Studio Trisorio dal 1987.
