- Massimo Bartolini
Massimo Bartolini is an Italian artist that works in a variety of mediums. From photography, to ink drawings to sculpture installations, Bartolini has perfected his technique for the past 30 years. Bartolini's adeptness at manipulating space, sound and light can be seen in most of his installation pieces. It appears that he often forgoes the traditional use of a room or other physical space to become more innovative with his art.
