Giuseppe Fortunato is a renowned contemporary artist whose career began early, with his first international exhibition at the age of 27.
A pivotal turning point in his career occurred in the 1980s when he met Remo Brindisi, a prominent figure of the new Italian figurative movement. This encounter provided a crucial influence, fueling Fortunato's artistic drive and allowing him to develop a unique style, distinct from traditional figurative approaches.
Towards the end of the 1980s, he created the IMAGES movement together with other Abruzzese artists.
In 2013, he founded the Fortunato Foundation, dedicated to promoting, archiving, and sharing his artistic legacy.
The Foundation also engages in cultural activities, promoting various artistic perspectives. A noteworthy exhibition by the Foundation was held at Arte Pordenone in 2013, showcasing the 'Colate' series by Fortunato, characterized by vivid enamels on expansive surfaces.
Fortunato's artistic career has been marked by his exploration of deep and genuine emotions.
It achieved early success in Italy and expanded its reach to the United Kingdom in 2014 and Germany.
As a painter, sculptor, and designer, Fortunato's work has evolved towards a surreal aesthetic, culminating in his characteristic 'Colate' style: colored and fluid glazes applied on large flat surfaces.
