MATTIA BOSCO

Biography

Mattia Bosco was born in Milan in 1976 into a family of painters. He lives and works between Milan and the mountains of the Val d’Ossola, in Piedmont, his own open-air laboratory where he selects and operates with the materials. A sculptor with a philosophical background, he starts from considering matter as something in which the formal process is already underway. He does not invent new forms, but rather adapts his work to existing conformations, following the geological evolution of the stone and the vegetative seasons of wood. The form, then, naturally emerges from the act of sculpting.

In 2014 Mattia Bosco was elected among the finalists of the XV Cairo Award, and in 2012 he came second ex aequo at the Henraux Foundation Award.
His works have been exhibited in several institutions in Italy and abroad: Palazzo Borromeo, Milano (2019); Ex Cimitero di San Pietro in Vincoli, Turin (2018); Mars, Milan (2017); Museo Diocesano, Milan (2015, 2008); Triennale Design Museum, Milan (2013); Limewharf, London (2013); Chiesa di St. Stefano, Milan (2007). Among the environmental exhibitions: Frieze Sculpture Park, London (2015); Country Unlimited, Cascina Maria (2018, 2017); Dolomiti Contemporanee, Pieve di Cadore (2017) and Casso (2014); Museo del Marmo, Carrara (2014).

Mattia Bosco took part in group exhibitions in international institutions:: Ex Essiccatoio, Gagliano del Capo (2019); Palazzo Mediceo, Serravezza (2018); Museum Tinguely, Basel (2015); Camec, La Spezia (2015); Triennale Design Museum, Milan (2010); La Permanente, Milan (2009).
His collaboration with Galleria Fumagalli began in 2018, his first double solo show, “In Origine”, together with Filippo Armellin dates 2019: it was accompanied by a catalogue with a text by Angela Madesani. In 2022 his works were included in the fourth and the sixth shows of the exhibiting program “MY30YEARS – Coherency in Diversity”, entirely curated by Lóránd Hegyi.
