Biography
Christian Zanotto is born in Marostica (Vicenza, Italy) in 1972.
He attended Venice Fine Arts Academy ; from 2000 he lives and works in Amsterdam.
In his works live together a rigorous planning spirit and a sacred respect for a continuous search between image and material. He can pass from science to pornography on some ecstasy levels which join she-saints and porn stars, contradictions that translate themselves in the treatment of plastic and chemical materials, like polyester resin and naturals as well, such as the handmade cotton papers, painted with natural pigments.
The last works (2010) are very elaborated, realized through the combination of photography and virtual images which then are tranferred on big crystal surfaces through a photographic exposure process; Zanotto realizes also videos related to these material artworks, videos which are sorts of flights through the universe in which the images of the paintings exist in their immateriality "made of light"; every element of these art-movies (images,sounds,music,words) is created on this purpose.
