Disegno del Quasi

Maurizio Donzelli was born in 1958 in Brescia, where he lives and works; he taught Theory of Perception and Color Psychology for seven years at the NABA Academy of Brescia. The poetic elements of Donzelli's work have always focused on some focal points of the artistic process: the drawing, the revelation of the image, the inevitability of the observer in the definition of the work, the relationship between light and color. The practice of drawing is the intellectual and technical tool with which Donzelli compares the artistic and philosophical reflection with the themes of immateriality and the temporary nature of the image, with its character of analogy or, more generally, of transfiguration and transformation.

Donzelli has exhibited his works in numerous solo shows, in galleries and institutions such as: Cortesi Gallery, London (2017) and Lugano (2016); Eduardo Secci Contemporary Gallery, Florence (2015); Palazzo Altemps, Rome (2015); Giacomo Guidi Gallery, Rome (2015); Palazzo Beccaguti Cavriani, Mantova (2013); Palazzo Fortuny, Venice (2012); Caterina Tognon Gallery, Venice (2009); Galleria Massimo Minini, Brescia (2007); 41 Artecontemporanea, Turin (2006); Bullseye Gallery, Portland (2005); Caterina Tognon Contemporary Art, Bergamo (2004); Gamec, Bergamo (2004); National Institute for Graphics, Palazzo Fontana di Trevi, Rome (2003); Neon, Bologna (2000).
