Graduated from the Accademia delle Belle Arti of Venice in 1987, Michelangelo Penso (born in 1964 in Venice, where he lives and works) has been exhibiting his works in private galleries and public institutions. Specialized in sculpture, installation and drawing, he has always been interested in various materials. His latest works, developing a new concept of sculpture, are composed of materials of industrial origin, such as rubber and polyester belts or pieces of aluminium and steel: genetic structures expanded to fill a real space.
