Ivo Soldini - Sculptures and drawings From the 30th of April until the 4th of September 2005 The artiste Ivo Soldini looks upon the human body with interrogation and passion. The exhibition at the Castle of Gruyères reveals the multiple facets that enrich his work. The outdoor spaces are besieged by imposing sculptures. Long figures, lonesome or in groups, defy balance and respond to the immutable architecture of the site. Monumental heads resting on the ground, give rise to thought on modernity and individuality. Inside, the statues of smaller size and drawings, with agile and vigorous writing, complete the process. Ivo Soldini was born on the 9th of October 1951 in Lugano. He studies in Milan: first at the Fine-Arts Academy of the Brera, then at University in political science, history of art and philosophy. His travels to Northern Europe stimulate his artistic development. A long side sculpture, he develops an important graphic and pictorial production. His works can be seen in many public spaces and private collections in Switzerland and Italy. Ivo Soldini lives and works in Ligornetto in Ticino.
