Biography
Antonio Abbatepaolo was born in 1972 in Polignano a Mare , Italy, where he lives and works as a dj-sculptor, designer and performer.
He attended the Institute of Arts in Monopoli where he specialized in art of weaving, then enrolled in the Course of Interior Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bari.
He participated to numerous group exhibitions in several Italian cities and has decades of experience to the side of the Designer Peppino Campanella.
His masterpieces are often brought to life by florescent lamp, renewing the miracle of creation which only art is capable of. These fluorescent installations often associated with music, have given rise to numerous performances for different Festivals.
The installations were studied and exhibited in historical centres or set in enclosed spaces and they are ghostly apparitions in possession of a stable physical balance.
They are the production of a non academic artist, playful and funny, in line with the re-establishment of the meaning of objects and their descriptions of "declassified" art and seen as a "social asset."
