MIMMO PALADINO
Domenico Paladino, known as Mimmo (Paduli, 1948), is an Italian painter, sculptor and printmaker known for being one of the main exponents of the Transavanguardia movement and for creating large-scale installations placed in several Italian cities. His style is recognizable by the presence of elements inferred from different cultures such as masks, animals, hands and heads. The artist is well known abroad, where numerous solo exhibitions have been dedicated to him. The movement of which he is a member, the Transavanguardia, was born in the early 1980s: founded by art critic Achille Bonito Oliva, the group consisted of Enzo Cucchi, Sandro Chia, Francesco Clemente, Nicola De Maria and Mimmo Paladino himself. Common to their individual experiences is the desire to draw from the past and from even very different and distant pictorial traditions to create a hybrid language capable of bringing together different epochs, in a way that could be called trans-historical (hence the name). Of the group, Mimmo Paladino is the most essential artist, closest to early 20th-century German primitivism and expressionism
