Giuseppe Rado was born in Brindisi in 1970. He lives and works in Bologna.
Rado’s research has the manners and style of television zapping, that do-it-yourself style characterizing today’s television program and images. Even the artist has created his program taking clue from what he liked the most and, step-by-step he builds and assembles the story with the final he prefers. Basically, like in those clips interrupted by a frenzied remote-control changing from one program to the other, in the artist’s pictures a Before and After are missing that can be given besides by the spectator’s fantasy, through other images signed and introduced by the artist and they are represented by the previous events and research developments. Stories and events syncopated, that’s for sure, interrupted and surreal plots, but an extreme freedom in giving vent to his imagination, searching the sleep that is more sleep, the glance that is more glance, the exceptionality that is more exceptional. The absolute of shape, or better still, of woman.
