Giuseppe Abate (Bari, Italy - 1987) is a visual artist whose practice is developed through a coherent production of images and works, which is why he tends to work on several projects simultaneously. Each project is expressed through a different material, in a fusion of traditional and experimental techniques, in particular painting, embroidery and tapestry, exploring themes such as fauna, hunting, material culture, with a strong focus on textile craftsmanship and naturalistic iconography.His training in painting always remains recognisable. His research is deeply influenced by a reflection on the forms and dynamics of consumption - from food to the paroxysm of consumerism - and on the ability of advertising to reinforce and at the same time conceal the crimes of a violent production system. Abate is attracted to a type of art that starts from small things to trigger broader reflections. His practice focuses on what is familiar, banal, seemingly unworthy of attention, seeking to subvert the common perception of it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He holds an MA in Material Futures from Central St. Martins College, London (2018-2020) and a BA in Painting from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia (2007-2011, awarded in 2012). His artistic career has been recognised through awards and selections in prestigious projects. These include: winning the sculptural project for the renovation of the OGR Turin fountain (work in progress), winning the PAC - Plan for Contemporary Art in 2023 with the Piroette project, and the Vinitaly Graphic Image award in 2017. He was also a finalist for the Cairo Prize in 2018. He has taken part in international art residencies, including the Guwahati Research Program in Assam, India (2016-2018), promoted by Microclima, and in 2014 he was selected for a residency at the Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in Venice. He has collaborated with important design figures and realities such as footwear designer Alessandro Zannoni and Giovanni Bonotto SPA.<\/p>\n
