PIERO MANAI
Born in 1951 in Bologna, Italy
Died in 1988 in Bologna, Italy
Piero Manai gained immediate notice in the early 1970s in Bolognese circles thanks to a kind of painting that, in the words of Flavio Caroli (who inserted the artist in his book Trentasette, il mistero del genio adolescente) and Pietro Bonfiglioli, “blends hyperrealism and conceptual abstraction,” “always somehow depicting the idea of painting itself.”
It is an inner work, an anatomical and psychic construction. To paint a figure, to skin it three times, to put it to the test in order to reach a threshold.
