Features Giovanni Ronzoni

Giovanni RonzoniArchitect Poet Artist PhotographerArchitettura_DesignIn 1980 he founded his ATELIER of Architecture.
Later in 1997 he took over an industrial warehouse with an "industrial archeology architecture" matrix.
It radically restructures it, while retaining the spirit of the huge uninterrupted space with a large central nave with a barrel vault, blending the interiors with the surrounding landscape.
It makes it the headquarters of Studio Ronzoni, placing the operating design space and a gallery space on the mezzanine level, which houses its own sculptures and a private collection of various authors, in progress, as well as organizing events and installations.
Its distinctive sign of the project, which has always been provocative and aimed at poetics, is essentiality, which translates into the creation of spaces conceived for subtraction and silence.
White, light and emptiness host minimal furnishings in unique pieces on design, in search of an extreme language, characterized by an atmosphere that is harmoniously charged with tension and deep spirituality.
Studio Ronzoni has designed villas and residential and commercial buildings, with a minimalist matrix, concept and creations of prestigious fashion stores in the historic centers of Milan, Monza, Perugia and Fukuoka (JP), restyling of historic buildings and various residential apartments in Italy, also taking care of the interior architecture.
In Design he collaborated with well-known Italian companies by signing various projects, and sometimes by taking on the role of Artistic Direction.
At the same time he deals with Urban Planning and Landscape.
There are numerous National awards.PhotographyIn the discipline of photography he goes in search of LIGHT and with it his game with shadows, with volumes, with full voids and planes, contrasts, colors, geometries, essence, skies, lines, balances , the apparent static nature that dialogues with the discreet and soft movement, with fragmentation, with materials, with nature.
But at the same time with the built, inseparable reality of the world. PaintingBetween graphics and painting, works are born in which the paper support is content and container, subject and object, flat surface in search of the third dimension through folds, gashes and color interventions with unexpected formal results.
The most recent works of the "Spazio Vitale" series derive from the study of light / shadow, full / empty: an extreme synthesis of the language of "zeroing and subtraction" which combines the concept of pregnancy with that of lightness and simplicity.
There are numerous national and international awards. SculptureThe sculptures made personally by combining artistic thought and manual skills are contemporary menhirs.
But unlike the well-planted Neolithic menhirs with all their weight in the ground, these have a lightness and sinuosity that from the earth raises them to the sky.
From the earth they take wood, metal, but also poor materials such as plaster, stones, the woods of the generous MaRE, for material stories that, following the artistic intervention, unleash an intrinsic elegance.
In the slender and aerodynamic forms one can guess his training as an architect, but his sculptures go beyond the formal aspect because they vibrate with a strong vital charge and a symbolic meaning that refers to human existence.
There are numerous national and international awards.PoetryIn the last three years he has approached poetry, impressing a unique stylistic figure.
There are several editions of his poetic collections.
His poetic compositions and artist books are visual poems where the form is one with the content, where the graphics are combined with the word emphasizing it and making it usable also visually.
Giovanni Ronzoni contains his poetics in a few but precise themes: life / death, birth / rebirth,There are numerous national and international awards.
