BIOGRAPHIES

Daniele Cestari was born in 1983. Following his studies at the liceo scientifico

in his hometown, he completed a degree in Architecture and Urban Environment

Planning. He lives and works in Ferrara. Cestari insists that one must understand his

work, first and foremost, as that of ‘an architect who paints’. Having never undertaken

any formal art training, Cestari renders onto the canvas his architectural passions

– his fascination with the energy of the urban environment. His carefully crafted

perspectives invite the viewer into the all-consuming momentum of the cityscape,

alive with texture. The dynamism of Cestari’s loose brushstrokes and blurred canvases

evoke the city as a living entity, constantly in flux. Yet they also lend his scenes a

wonderful sense of opacity; keeping the observer at arm’s length, they are the perfect acknowledgment of the impersonal nature

of the metropolis, with its hidden away existences and shuttered private lives. Cestari uses various mediums together - oils, pencils,

acrylic and varnishes – to create a work as varied as the city itself. Often he begins his work with less than pristine canvases – old,

degraded, stitched and imbued with their own history – and he works to unite these pre-existing traces into his work. For Cestari,

we are the paintbrushes and pencils within our own cities, each footstep down a street adding to the history of traces left before.

Alberto Zamboni was born in 1971 in Bologna, where he continues to live

and work today. Born into a respected family of artists, his creative inheritance was

further nurtured by the vibrant artistic environment of his home city – the birthplace

of Annibale, Agostino Carracci and Giorgio Morandi. As well as the countless artists

who have lived and worked in Bologna over the centuries, Zamboni’s work is buoyed

by references to history’s most innovative practitioners. The skilful juxtaposition of

light and shadow in Zamboni’s creations is reminiscent of Whistler’s hazy views of

the river Thames and the nocturnal seascapes of Turner. Yet literature also plays

a pivotal role in Zamboni’s creative process – especially authors such as Edgar

Allan Poe, Herman Melville and George Simenon. Zamboni is fascinated by tales of adventure and the great unknown, and

strives to capture this sense of odyssey within his misty landscapes. The current body of works is a summa of his inspirations.

Uninterested in the representation of reality per se; the human figure becomes the pretext to create an oneiric depiction of

reality, imagined through the prism of his remembrances. Zamboni tackles the canvas with a simple yet subtle technique;

the canvas is applied directly with layers of oil, which is then carefully diluted. The subjects are lightly traced on the canvas,

conferring a distinctive non-finito touch, further enhanced by the lack of a final varnish. Zamboni has participated in a number of

international art fairs and competitions, such as the prestigious Premio Cairo and the 2011 Venice Biennale. His paintings, aside

from being privately collected, feature in some of the most prominent Italian corporate collections including Unicredit Bank.
