Cino Angioni

Cino Angioni is a visual artist and a contemporary musician. He divides his time between his work as an entrepreneur and his artistic work. After his career as a drummer, in Italian alternative rock, he began to paint as a self-taught in total freedom, letting himself be inspired by music.

In his works, we find both irony and drama. His stylistic signature is clearly identified in a mosaic of schizophrenic and exhausted faces: figures of lonely men, drunken priests, bored women, stray dogs, greedy bankers, and cloistered nuns. Its “sober” protagonists show all the inner restlessness in a collective portrait of loneliness and isolation in which it is difficult not to recognize oneself, at least in part.

The artist Cino Angioni prefers drawing, in fact, for him it is an emotional vector. He uses a mixed painting technique, mixing, on the pictorial support, oil pastels, pencils, chalks, acrylic, and oil paint, often impregnated with decollage. A characteristic note of his work is the “final touch”, the scratch, given with the use of awls, cutters, and blades as if to destroy the initial work.
