Stefano Di Stasio (1948) - Lontano

Di Stasio, Stefano. – Italian artist (born Naples 1948). A prominent exponent of the artistic movement of anachronism theorized by M. Calvesi in the Eighties and oriented toward the recovery of traditional painting in contrast to conceptual art, he is the undisputed protagonist of the return to image painting, to which he has contributed a dreamlike and evocative vision that transcends figurativism to transform into a visual modality of thought. Present at the Venice Biennale (1984, 1995), the Rome Quadriennale (1975, 1986, 1992, 1999), exhibitions of his works have been mounted in the shows Novecento at the Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome (2001), A Century of Italian Art, the Feierabend collection, at the Mart in Rovereto (2005), at the Royal Palace of Milan in 2008 (Italian Art 1968-2007, Painting), at Rocca Malatestiana and Palazzo del Podestà in Rimini in 2010 (Contemplations) and at the MACRO in Rome in 2013 (Portrait of a City, art in Rome 1960-2001), as well as in more recent solo exhibitions Stefano di Stasio at Andrea Arte Contemporanea in Vicenza (2011-12) and Astanze at the Palazzo Collicola in Spoleto (2021).
