Giancarlo Impiglia, Italian/American (1940 - )

He studied at the "Liceo Artistico," (Artistic Lyceum), and at the
'Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma," (Academy of Fine Arts of Rome),
where he specialized in murals and mosaics, under the direction of
some of the major Italian postwar artists: Giuseppe Capogrossi,
Giuho Turcato, Umberfo Mastroianni, Mario Mafai and others.
Giancarlo Impiglia (1940-) is widely recognized as one of the most
influential artists of contemporary Art Deco style. By boldly combining
hard-edged, abstract human figures with shimmering colors, Impiglia
creates a kinetic vision that captures the rhythm of urban life.
He juxtaposes static images with carefully planned and controlled
geometric patterns, suggesting movement. This evocative imagery
simultaneously conveys the joy, excitement, loneliness and
sophistication of everyday life in a bustling metropolis. Mr. Impiglia
continued his studies, expanding into photography and cinema,
receiving degrees from the Technical School of Photography and the
Italian Center of Cinematography of Rome. He moved permanently to
the United States in 1974.
Impiglia came to New York in the mid-seventies and immediately
began painting and expressing his satirical interpretations of the
hustle and glitter of New York's bourgeoisie. His subjects span the
whole spectrum of society... a multitude of characters from every
class. With wit and perception, he defines these characters through
their attire, painting suave men in white tie and tails, as well as
provocatively-dressed women at gala receptions. His figures are
faceless. Personalities are defined only by sharply drawn profiles - a
subtle commentary on the anonymity of city living.
The works of Impiglia have been extensively exhibited throughout
Europe and America, and also form an important part of many private
and corporate collections. He is also well-known for his murals which
can be seen in many public places in New York City. He works and
lives in New York City. less
