Among the most prominent Italian artists of his generation and an established presence in the European scene, Remo Salvadori (1947) has developed since the 1970s a personal artistic language through sculpture, installation

and site-specific interventions. Based on the interaction between the observer and elements such as water, colour and metals, Salvadori's work emerges through alchemical mutations and flows of knowledge, and can lead to a new awareness of the self and the world. Viewed retrospectively, Salvadori's work acts as a bridge between the experience of Arte Povera and subsequent artistic developments.

By placing space, conceived as source of creative energy, and the daily practice of human encounter at the centre of his poetics, the artist lives art as a sort of revelation, "a pathway for the mind, heart and body in pursuit of awareness, almost as if it were an ascension. And ascending is also to see oneself."

Born in Cerreto Guidi, Tuscany, Remo Salvadori lives and works in Milan, his adopted city since 1972, when he left Florence after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts.

He made his debut in the 1970s with solo exhibitions hosted by the galleries of Franz Paludetto (1971), Franco Toselli (1973), Lucrezia de Domizio (1976 and 1979), Paolo Marinucci & Tucci Russo (1976), Lucio Amelio (1978) and Paola Betti (1978).

He participated in several editions of the Venice Biennale (1982, 1986, 1993) and documenta, Kassel (1982, 1992).

Over the years his work has been included in group exhibitions of international scope such as The European Iceberg: Creativity in Germany and Italy Today, curated by Germano Celant, at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto (1985), Corrispondentie Europa, curated by Wim Beeren, at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam (1986), Chambres d'Amis, curated by Jan Hoet, in Gent (1986), Minimalia. Da Giacomo Balla a..., curated by Achille Bonito Oliva, at Palazzo Querini-Dubois in Venice (1997), at Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome (1998) and at P.S.1 in New York (1999), Happiness: A Survival Guide for Art and Life, curated by Pier Luigi Tazzi and David Eliott, at the Mori Art Museum (2003) and Terre vulnerabili. A Growing Exhibition, curated by Chiara Bertola and Andrea Lissoni, at HangarBicocca in Milan (2010).

Over the decades the artist has worked with galleries such as Salvatore Ala, Milan/New York (1980, 1982), Galleria Pieroni, Rome (1981, 1985, 1986), Locus Solus, Genoa (1985, 1987, 1989), Christian Stein, Turin/Milan (1988, 1991, 1995, 1999, 2005, 2007, 2017, 2024) and BUILDING, Milan (2017, 2024).
