“Tentolini is a conceptual artist, who exploits the intuitions of optical and kinetic research to question himself on the relationship of images with time and memory”.
Ivan Quaroni
Giorgio Tentolini has built his artistic research on the extrapolation of photographic images (faces of women, silhouettes of ancient Greek or Roman sculptures, architecture), then reworked through unconventional media, such a s wire mesh, Plexiglas or paper. He creates highly iconic, fluid and mysterious ima ges, which seem to be caught in constant mutation and movement under our gaze. Light, an essential component of his work, has always marked and reassembled the various elements of the image, reconstructing it in a complex, ideal, stratified and multiform perceptive unit, which rekindles in us the sensation of accessing a buried or removed area of our own deep memory.

Giorgio Tentolini's research is, in fact, a perfect metaphor of the relationship between time, image and memory. The artist's rarefied atmosph eric representations seem to express the impalpable density of memories that have become entangled in our retina, and then brought back to light through a work of reworking that blends movement and static in a single material and virtual, artificial and natural perceptual field. The mysterious perceptive game of his works recalls the dynamism of kinetic art, without renouncing the seductive power of representation.
Giorgio Tentolini was born in Casalmaggiore (Cr) in 1978. His analytical approach to the perception of the photographic image derives from his training in the graphic arts, design and communication. Winner of the Rigamonti, Nocivelli, Paratissima and Arteam Cup Awards, the artist has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
