Lapo Simeoni
Born in Orbetello, Grosseto in 1979. Studied at the
Saint Martins school in London, where he completed
the Foundation Course in Art and Design in 2002.
From the outset he has worked in a broad range of
expressive media, from mural painting to photography
and the creation of painting-installations, a hallmark
of his work. He also shows a profound sensitivity
to the use of different materials, including
steel, plexiglas and recycled materials, alongside
light installations. Simeoni describes the basic themes
of his artistic research as follows: the effects
of globalized consumerism, symbols and stereotypes
of Italian history.
In 2008 he won the international MOVIN’ UP
project, organized by the GAI organization, holding
his first double personal exhibition in Beijing (China),
curated by Filippo Salviati. In 2009 he organized
and participated in the exhibition 7 ITALIAN VISION
in Basel during Art|40|Basel (Swiss). In 2010
he held his first personal exhibition in Rome, “Mind
the Gap” curated by Francesca Franco at the Altri
Lavori in Corso gallery.
In 2011 participated in the exhibition
ARS APOCALIPSIS - KUNST UND KOLLAPS
KUNSTVEREIN KREIS GUTERSLOH, (Germany), curated
Malte & Henning Boecker, whit international and historical artist
like Gherard Richter and Albrecht Dürer.
