Pino Pinelli (Catania - Italy 1938). Lives and works in Milan - Italy.
Born in Catania and Milanese by adoption, Pino Pinelli moved to the Lombard city in 1963, fascinated and attracted by the artistic debate of the time, animated by figures such as Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni and Enrico Castellani. He took part in the exhibitions of the San Fedele Prize and in 1968 held his first solo exhibition at the Bergamini Gallery.
In the early 1970s he began a period of reflection and research in which he sought to focus on the inescapable link between tradition and innovation, paying particular attention to the painted surface and the vibrations of painting. These reflections led to the Topologie and Monocromi series, whose surfaces began to vibrate with a subtle agitation, almost as if the artist wanted to convey the very breath of painting.
Following these works, Filiberto Menna included him in the category of what was defined as Analytical Painting. Pinelli's works can be described as restless bodies of paint that walk in space, wavering and migrating in small or large formations: bodies made of materials that have imprinted the signs of an anxious pliability, and that exalt the tactile physicality and visual pleasure of a colour pulsating with luminous vibrations.
