Pierluigi Isola

Pierluigi Isola was born in Rome, the city where he lives and works.
A child of art, he began his dialogue with images and colours at an early age in his father Giancarlo's studio, where he had the opportunity to learn the first grammar of pictorial language. In the early years of his training, he followed the lessons of Piero Guccione, an artist who passed on to him his particular ability to relate to reality by capturing its most intimate and secret aspect. His work is constantly focused on the subtle relationships that exist between sensitive reality and the imaginary world. His is a path of research that places him in continuity and constant dialogue with tradition and leads him to rediscover and explore little-used techniques, such as egg tempera on panel or chalcographic engraving techniques.
He has held solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad, including:
XII Quadriennale Italia 1950 - 1990 Ultime generazioni, at Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome and 54 Venice Biennale, Italian Pavilion, Corderie dell'Arsenale, Venice.
His works can be found in private and public collections such as: Panorama Museum in Bad Frankenhausen, Germany, where an anthological exhibition was held this year; MACRO Museum of Contemporary Art, Rome; Chamber of Deputies, Rome; Basilica of S. Clemente, Rome; Central Institute for Graphics, Rome; Pinacoteca Comunale d'Arte Contemporanea, Gaeta; Vatican Apostolic Library, Vatican City State.
