Pier Paolo Calzolari

21 Mar-5 May 2018

Overview

Calzolari’s paintings, sculptures and installations from the past five decades are presented in his first ever comprehensive exhibition in the UK. Originally associated with the ‘Arte Povera’ movement in the 1960s, Calzolari uses organic materials such as salt, lead, tobacco leaves, moss and burnt wood in his work. He is widely considered a pioneer of performance art and staged his first ‘happenings’ as early as 1966.
