MARIA DOMPE, (Italian, b. 1958), Gentleman Sculpture, marble and travertine, 1995, height: 20 in.
One of a pair, (Gentleman and Lady) being sold separately.
Maria Dompe was born in Fermo on March 4th, 1959; after having attended artistic high school, she graduated with a degree in sculpture from the Accademia di Belle Arti of Rome in 1982. Dompé studied at the Roman Academy of Art under the supervision of renowned sculptors Pericle Fazzini and Emilio Greco. After the Academy, she continued her studies in the town of Pietrasanta where she acquired mastery and hands-on skills in the use of stone and marble, materials which play an essential role in her work.
During the 1980’s she participated in competitions in which she often received prizes: the competition of the Accademie d’Italia (1981, first prize); the national competition of the Accademia di Belle Arti of Frosinone (1982, first prize); “Premio Bernini” Province of Rome (1984, second prize).
In 1985 she was invited by Filiberto Menna to the collective show “Esprit de Gèometrie,” at the Roman gallery Il Carpine. In 1989 she had her first personal exhibition at the gallery Il Millennio in Rome, followed by individual shows set up at the gallery Spazio Temporaneo in Milan (1991), at the gallery Isola in Rome (both in 1992 and 1993), at the gallery of Alberto Peola of Turin (1995) and at the Laboratory Museum of Contemporary Art, University of Rome, La Sapienza (1997) with an installation that involved the senses of smell and hearing, entitled, Don't forget Mururoa. In the personal installation of 1999, Alle donne di Nakiri, Dompè challenged the external and internal spaces of the Japanese Cultural Institute of Rome. Also in 1999, the artist had a personal show at the Contemporary Sculpture Center of Tokyo. And in 2000, she had a personal show at the gallery Grossetti Arte Contemporanea of Milan, with the work: Daily Spiritual Life: Milano. In 2007, at the gallery Il Segno of Rome, she paid homage to the writer and explorer, Ella Maillart, by creating a vision of a large landscape of the spirit.
Followed by 58 other “incursions in space” in the years from 1990 to today, documented by specific publications.
