Biografia
“... Celi is an artist of continuous creative youth; he can combine an uncontainable sense of research and a particular comparison of expressive means. His artistic vivacity covers a wide sphere of research, moving from the realistic to the informal painting, with references to the last international artistic tendencies, which his troubled mind investigates with curiosity and interest. In his works you can recognize references to the American and Italian Pop Art, Nouveau Rèalisme and Arte Povera, signs of dadaistic and metaphysical poetics and the habitual reading of informal art, especially of the informal pertaining to matter, of European education, peculiar to the post-war Italian visual culture.
