Maurizio Galimberti

The first anthology of portraits by Maurizio Galimberti (Como, 1956) over the last few thirty years, from the first experiments, to famous compositions called Mosaics. Galimberti, with his Polaroid, reinvented a genre, immortalizing the most representative figures of our time. In his portraits, inspired by Henri Cartier-Bresson, he proves to be able to acknowledge the immediateness of reality, overcoming the poetics of instantaneity and managing to seize beyond that specific present moment, which is elusive by definition.
The dynamism that these pictures convey, clearly of Futurist kind, confers to the artist's portrait the ability to be and persist in the suspended time. Constantly evolving images, perceived as ever-changing by both the subject and the viewer.
