Pino Pinelli was born in Catania in 1938, but he lives and works in Milan
He’s one of the most important exponents of a movement that was born by the end of the ’60s, called Pittura Analitica or Pittura Pittura Pinelli’s artistic research has allowed painting to abandon the picture frame to spread itself as fragments on the wall Thus giving shape to color, making it concrete His paintings acquire body and mass, and become objects with a “velvet” skin that invite people to tactile exploration
