Massimo Garanzini is an italian artist, born in 1971 and living in Milan. He
graduated from the Art School in 1990 and then got the degree in
Philosophy in 1996 with a dissertation and essay in contemporary art on
Jean-Michel Folon.
His
career is characterized by communication consultancy for large
international companies in primary Italian and Global PR firms. In
parallel Massimo has continued and developed his personal path and
passion for painting.
The series of the collages "existential cities" was created for the first time in 2010.
The
existential path from Massimo started with an emotional view of the
nature and landscapes and then evolved narrowing the key role of the
cities as expression of a new nature sourranding humanity.
"The
inspiration of existential cities comes from Van Gogh's masterpiece
"Starry night" where all of reality becomes an expression of the
artist's experience and passion. The
evolving scenario of new buildings and architectures in Milan and the
international experiences I had, gave me additional stimuli and a new
view of the reality.
I think my works incapsulate many
ispirations from Van Gogh, the Metaphysical Town Square series from De
Chirico, the Cubist cities, the cities from the Futurist movement,
Schifano. A special place is holded also by Hockney with his villas,
deserts, swimming pools and the landscapes and fences by Christo".
