In 1988, by frequenting other artists, I significantly improved my painting, thanks to the careful observation of seeing the works of other painter colleagues created, thus managing to refine my painting technique, making a notable leap in quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis is the opinion of those who saw the works I created during that period. From 1989, with the birth of my son Stefano, I abandoned painting for three years to dedicate myself to my family. In 1992, the call of art was too strong, and so I began painting again. I was trying to find an original way to express myself, so as not to be \"the same\" as other artists. I have always been fascinated by the \"Past\", and after years of research and a continuous maturation of my pictorial skills, in 1994 I noticed the Holy Shroud... and it was like an intuition: I connected the image of the man imprinted on the cloth with the key to interpreting time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e The traces that can be seen on the Sacred Cloth, I reproduce in my paintings with multiple vertical lines, and in some parts of the canvas you can also see fading lines, like folds that \"speak\" of a past, testifying to a passage of time that depicts an existence that was there..., and is present today, and will also be present in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eSo my way of expressing myself artistically wants to be a reading message in reference to the man imprinted on the Sacred Cloth, which generates admiration for a past existence, present today, and usable also in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Email: artebalducci@gmail.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Awards and recognitions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Since 1995, Balducci has received countless awards and recognitions from critics, and has exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in Italy and abroad: Stand Arte Contemporanea Palazzo Nervi in ​​Turin (1998), a work donated to the Pinacoteca Italiana in Hong Kong (2003), the International Contemporary Art Fair (in collaboration with the Alba Art Gallery in Ferrara) in New York in 2001, at the Javits Convention Center – stand 1235, and the Arsinoè Gallery in Paris (2008).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e His works are exhibited in public institutions and private collections in Italy and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Group exhibition at the Visual Gallery – Menaggio – Como 2008\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGroup exhibition at the demonstration marking the 5th anniversary of the Nassiriya attack, themed \"The Carabiniere on Peace Missions\" – Educatorio della Provvidenza – Crocetta area – Turin 2008 (work donated to the Carabinieri family members)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Published in the art magazine “Boè” – year 6 no. 4 page 50 – July-August 2009\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Publication “Arte Mondadori” page 215 – January 2005 n. 377 (publication of a work)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e 54th Venice Biennale in Turin, Italian Pavilion, curated by Vittorio Sgarbi, with work published in a catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Artefiera Reggio Emilia 2012 through the Artefiano gallery in Turin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Arte Arezzo 2012 via Arte Studio Gallery Turin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Orler lab Marcon (Ve) telesales on channel 78 and streaming progettolab.com 2011-2012-2013-2014-2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e 2013-2014 - collaboration with the Res Publica art gallery, Piazza della Repubblica, Venaria Reale, at the Royal Palace of Venaria (Turin)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e 2014 - Exhibition collaboration at \"SENSAZIONI\" total home design strada Genova 138 Moncalieri (Turin)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003e2015 GROUP EXHIBITION SALE DEL BRAMANTE (ROME)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e 2015 STAFF OF THE FORMER DELEGATION ROOM IN LAIGUEGLIA (SV)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e 2016 group exhibition at the “L'Alunno” gallery in Bologna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e 2016 group exhibition Turin Art Gallery 56 Via Vanchiglia 6 Turin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e 2016 \"Land of the Saints\" personal exhibition, Castelnuovo Don Bosco (AT)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e 2016 Works on sale at: “Manifesta C\/ Alcide De Gasperi 20 Turin Crocetta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e 2016 delzotto mawa staff\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e January 2017, personal exhibition in room 2 at Villa Casalegno Pianezza (Turin)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e 2017 Poleschi Gallery Auction House Milan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Balducci Art by Roberto Balducci | Studio: Via Barletta 122 Turin\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roberto Balducci","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56202643997058,"sku":"104687","price":1485.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/20220205_160554__1.jpg?v=1768314038","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/colline-del-monferrato-d-inverno","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
