Biography

Gianfranco Meggiato was born in Venice in 1963, where he attended the Istituto Statale d'Arte art college for five years, studying stone, bronze, wood and ceramic sculpture. At the invitation of the Municipality of Venice, he exhibited his works at a very young age in two exhibitions, in 1979 and 1984, at the "Galleria Comunale Bevilacqua La Masa" in St Mark's Square, Venice, where he showed sculptures in stone and semi-refractory material. Since 1998 Gianfranco Meggiato has participated without interruption in a long series of exhibitions, shows and fairs in Italy and abroad. In recent years, Gianfranco Meggiato has been invited to take part in the 54th and the 55th Venice Biennale, where he has exhibited among national participations.

 

He was present at exhibitions in the US, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Britain, France, Holland, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Monaco, Ukraine, Russia, India, China, United Arab Emirates, South Korea, and Singapore. Gianfranco Meggiato has exhibited at Correr Museum in St Mark's Square, at the National Museum of Musical Instruments in Rome, at Senate Palace in Milan, at Duomo Square in Pietrasanta and at Lucca Center of Contemporary Art. In 2012, during the Art-Bre exhibition in Cap Martin, he created and presented to Albert II, Prince of Monaco, Sphere Enigma (4,8 mt. Ø diameter, H 6,00 mt.), now placed in Montecarlo Harbor.

 

Maestro Meggiato says that his works are inspired by biomorphic tissue, a symbol of the human rough path trying to find ourselves, find the precious sphere in the centre of the artwork and inside every one of us. All these experiences, usually complicated and obscure as the interior tissue of his sculptures, are necessary to our inner growth. We won't be able to elevate and change to become stronger without the darkest moments. Meggiato's art wants to spread this message, even in this difficult period. Human beings must believe in the possibility of raising, improving, and changing destiny. In this sense, the work of Gianfranco Meggiato hearkens back to the Italian Renaissance when man was placed at the centre of space and history. This message of hope, moving beyond cultural barriers and race or religious differences, from the East to the West, is appreciated and shared all over the world.
