PAOLO GRASSINO
Paolo Grassino uses a wide range of materials: PVC-foam, acrylic and aluminium. His pieces, however, represent vital things like animals or humans. An oversized human heart made of resilient PVC-foam stands for the human’s fragility. Choosing the exact material for a piece also symbolizes its strength. The natural and the artistic, vitality and stiffness are set into context.
Grassino’s works are displayed on a regular basis in museums all over Europe, particularly in Italy.
