PAOLO ICARO
Born in 1936 in Turin, Italy
Lives and works in Tavullia, Italy
After an initial approach to sculpture in the studio of Umberto Mastroianni in Turin, in the early 1960s he moved to Rome, then departing in 1966 for New York, where he resided until 1968. In America the Forme di spazio (Forms of Space, 1967) developed, later renamed Gabbie (Cages), structures of metal sections in which sculpture, rather than occupying space, become a site, the origin of space.
In my work, poetry has always been present. It is a bit like the light of a lighthouse that manages to show what could hardly be seen on the horizon in complete darkness.
