Andrea
Mastrovito was born in Bergamo in 1978 were he lives. Dividing his time between
Italy and New York, his artistic path snakes through a kind of re-invention of
painting where painting is no longer seen as the chromatic covering of a
surface or as the simple act of painting but it becomes the constructive part
of the artwork itself, disappearing behind the simple gesture like paper
cutting (which replaces the brushstroke) which then re-emerge in his
installations.
He received
his MFA in 2001 from the Accademia Carrara di Belle Arti in Bergamo. In 2007 he
won the New York Prize, awarded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He
has had solo shows in private galleries in Milan, Florence, Paris, Geneva,
Brussels, New York and in three Centers for Contemporary Art in Milan (Museo
del Novecento), Monfalcone, Italy, and Lacoux, France.
