Michelangelo Pistoletto - Profile

Pistoletto is one of Arte Povera's most significant protagonists. His iconic mirror paintings and installations earned him rapid and lasting international recognition, representing the artist's dual interest in conceptualism and figurative representation. Throughout his work the human figure assumes a pivotal role. As the artist has said "I feel it best suited to realising the need to express particular feelings and situations of the human condition, what for me is the most vital and burning issue of all time". Throughout his career the artist has kept a record of ideas for exhibitions and impulses for his various projects. In his most recent body of work Pistoletto returns to his iconic mirror paintings in which he represents his subjects on the threshold to another dimension. The works are active and come alive when the onlooker stands before them. The sitter in the work is drawn into the kaleidoscope of society just as the onlooker is involuntarily drawn into the picture, becomes an active protagonist of the piece as he/she stands in front of it. These works cannot exist without their participating audience, whose presence in the work inevitably causes them to reflect on their own identity and sense of self. (Simon Lee Gallery)
