Pino Alessio (1954-2006) - Heiliges Pferd

Expressive screen print from 2005 by the Italian artist Pino Alessio.
Format 80 × 56 cm
Alessio's works are characterized by an intense handling of color and form. Even in this print, his ability to generate dynamism and depth solely through painterly contrasts and gestural elements becomes visible. The composition appears lively and at the same time structured – a work that reveals its impact both up close and from a distance.

A characteristic work from the late period of the artist – created just one year before his death – and thus also historically particularly interesting.

Kurzbiografie des Künstlers

Pino Alessio was born in 1954 in Southern Italy. He decided early on to pursue an artistic career and undertook study stays in Rome and Florence, where he engaged intensely with classical painting and art history. In the 1980s he continued his training in Germany and studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, one of Europe's most important art schools. There he became a Meisterschüler and developed his autonomous, expressive style.

His works have been presented nationally and internationally in galleries and museums. Over the course of his career he received various awards and funding within art prize programs and stipends. Today, works by Pino Alessio are in private and public collections both at home and abroad.

His work is classified within the field of contemporary figurative and expressive art and is especially highly valued by connoisseurs of postwar German and Italian art.
