Giancarlo Neri

We d like to pay a little tribute to one of the greatest Italian contemporary artist, Giancarlo Neri,with who we had the pleasure to spend a week here at Castelinho38.
Infact Giancarlo has been invited by the local authorities to develop a "lighting project" here in Rio, and was so busy during last week that we hardly have seen him and took a picture together.


On his business card Giancarlo use to have "Centrocampista"(Midfilder), meaning he had a professional past in the football, that was actually in New York where he also started to get involved with ART. Among other skills Giancarlo got to be known for his massive installations, sculptures and lighting projects.


In Rio de Janeiro he is exhibiting at the moment in the very new Progetti Art Gallery, it is a DUO with local artist Marcos Chaves, with who he will for sure, be preparing something special very soon in the future. Marcos and Giancarlo are very good friends for long time and two unique caracthers in the art world.

"The Writer" sculpture have been shown in Hampstead Heat, London and in Villa Ada, Rome and it is probably his most famous art work. But he is still thinking about doing something much bigger, so get prepared. Giancarlo is very much at home here in Brasil and speaks, acts, wears as a perfect "carioca", so we really hope he will be back soon.
