ALESSANDRO PAPETTI
(b.1958, Milan)

Born in Milan, where he continues to live and work today, Alessandro Papetti is one of Italy’s foremost contemporary painters. He has exhibited widely for almost 30 years, notably at the Venice Biennale in 2003 and 2011, at major museums in Milan, Paris, Moscow, and Tokyo, and at galleries around the world.

A largely self-taught artist, Papetti’s most recognizable works are sweeping, cinematic paintings focused on industrial archaeology, urban landscapes, portraits and nude studies, frequently painted from a high-angle perspective. Milan has served as an important backdrop for his work: I tend to use monochromatic colours. The light in my cities is fairly northern because I was born in Milan and that definitely had an influence. These are the colours from my city, from the air that I’ve breathed.

In 1995 Papetti met the writer and Giacometti biographer, James Lord, who wrote a significant critical essay on his work. Lord described Papetti’s work as “profoundly Italian” and referenced the influence of Tintoretto: “The frenetic movement, ghostly perspective and supernatural sense of space so characteristic of the Venetian master have clearly left their mark on the young Milanese painter without, however, overpowering his personal and original view. He has, in short, mastered the configuration of his inner world, an achievement which is essential to the ontological transfiguration that endows with talismanic permanence the transitory detritus of our perishable selves and our world.”

During the early years of his career, Papetti concentrated on the theme of Ritratti Visti Dall’Alto, a cycle to which Giovanni Testori devoted an article in Il Corriere Della Sera (an Italian newspaper) in 1989. This wide-angle view of real life was followed by a cycle of paintings created between 1990 and 1992, entitled Reperti (Relics), in which his attention was more focused on detail, and on the marks left by time in factory workshops and interiors. His studies of what he calls ‘industrial archaeology’ would become more in-depth in the years that followed as demonstrated, for example, in the 1996 exhibition at the Musei Civici in Villa Manzoni, Lecco, on the shores of Lake Como.

From 1992, Papetti began participating in exhibitions in public spaces and at various art fairs in Europe and the United States. In 1995, he began working between Milan and Paris. That same year, he met writer and biographer James Lord, who wrote an important critical text about the artist in 1996. During this period, Papetti's portraits and depictions of interiors ran parallel with his studies on the nude which became the subject of the show La Forza Dell’Immagine, la Pittura Del Realismo in Europa, held at the Gropius Bau Museum in Berlin in 1996, and Sui Generis at PAC in Milan. 

These studies led him to create paintings in the cycle Acqua (Water) from 1998 onwards, exhibited for the first time at the Studio Forni in Milan in 1999. Here, we find bodies suspended motionless in swimming pools, or as in the series Il Bagno di Notte (Night Swimming), caught just before plunging into the blackness of a sea illuminated by a livid, lunar light. These were some of his first images of figures in outdoor settings.

The result of his new pictorial cycle and of the preceding cycle dedicated to industrial environments was the production of Cantieri Navali (Shipyards). In the 2002 show dedicated to this theme, Papetti exhibited the landscape of industrial ports, dry docks and gigantic hulls, together with a cycle of huge faceless nudes. It was an expression of the bodies of ships and humans in all their epic scale and fragility. 

The years of 2003 and 2004 saw Papetti being invited to take part in several museum exhibitions – including one dedicated to Giovanni Testori at the Palazzo Reale in Milan and another entitled La Ricerca dell’identità which was exhibited at various public spaces across Italy.

In 2005, Papetti took part in the exhibitions Miracolo a Milano at Palazzo della Ragione and Il paesaggio italiano contemporaneo at Palazzo Ducale in Gubbio. In the same year, the Fondazione Mudima presented a retrospective of his work entitled Il Disagio Della Pittura, in which Papetti exhibited the last twenty years of his oeuvre in a selection of paintings ranging from Testorian figures viewed from above to the paintings on the theme of the Città. This was followed by a show entitled Il Ventre Della città. 

In all these years, Papetti has regularly reworked themes and subject matter, exploring urban scenes, interior and exterior spaces and the blurred boundary between public and private spaces. His interest in industrial archaeology led to a series of paintings dedicated to the former Renault factory, exhibited in 2007 at the Musée des Années 30 in Paris, in a show entitled Île Seguin. In 2007, Vittorio Sgarbi also invited Papetti to take part in the show Arte Italiana. 1968-2007 Pittura at the Palazzo Reale in Milan. This year also saw him take part in the exhibition La Nuova Figurazione Italiana and continued at the Fabbrica Borroni in Bollate.

In 2009, Papetti participated in the show No Landscape - La sparizione del paesaggio, held at the Fondazione Bandera in Busto Arsizio and the group exhibition L’anima dell’acqua at the Ca’ d’Oro in Venice. In the same year, he exhibited his cycle of circular paintings dedicated to water, the forest and the wind, in the exhibition Il Ciclo del Tempo at Palazzo Reale in Milan, curated by Achille Bonito Oliva. In these works (each painting is eight meters in diameter), the viewer’s sense of perspective is disorientated by the format and scale of the paintings. 

In 2010, Papetti had three solo exhibitions – in Tokyo, Vancouver and Palladio’s Villa Manin (Italy). In 2011 he was invited to participate in the Italian Pavilion at the Biennale of Venice entitled L’arte nonè Cosa nostra. He also participated in the Pavilion of the Republic of Cuba.

Continuing his exploration of industrial archaeology, Papetti's 2012 show entitled Factories of Utopia was held at the Moscow Museum of Architecture – Muar. At the end of the same year, his solo exhibition Autobiografia Della Pittura was held at the Contini Art Gallery, with a critical essay by Luca Beatrice appearing in the catalogue.

During the Spring of 2013, several significant solo exhibitions took place outside of Italy: including at the Everard Read Gallery in Johannesburg; in Berlin at the Halle am Wasser @ Hamburger Bahnhof, curated by Frederik Foert and Gianluca Ranzi; and in Paris at the Mairie du Ier arrondissement.

At the beginning of 2014, Papetti participated in the exhibition Doppio Sogno, curated by Luca Beatrice and Arnaldo Colasanti, held in Palazzo Chiablese in Turin. In June, he opened a show at the Palazzo della Penna of Perugia, entitled La Pelle Attraveso.

Over the past fifteen years, Papetti has exhibited his works at major art fairs and collaborated with galleries across the globe. He is one of Italy’s most innovative and exciting contemporary painters.
