- Sandro Chia

Sandro Chia (b. 1946 Italy) is an Italian painter and sculptor, renowned for his vibrant and expressive works that played a significant role in the Transavanguardia movement, Italy's version of Neo-Expressionism. Emerging in the late 1970s, Chia's work is characterized by bold colors, dynamic brushstrokes, and a revival of figurative painting, often featuring mythological, historical, and personal themes. His style is both sensual and monumental, combining elements of classical art with a contemporary twist. Chia’s paintings and sculptures often exude a sense of energy and vitality, reflecting his interest in the human figure and its emotional depth. As a leading figure in the resurgence of figurative art in the late 20th century, Chia has left a lasting impact on contemporary art.

What is Transvanguardia ?

Transavanguardia is the Italian version of Neo-Expressionism, referring to an art movement that emerged in Italy and other parts of Western Europe during the 1970s and 1980s. The term translates to beyond the avant-garde. Transavanguardia arose as a reaction against the dominance of conceptual art, reintroducing emotion and reviving painting as a primary medium. The movement marked a return to mythic imagery and figurative art, celebrating a rediscovery of traditional forms and themes in a contemporary context.
