PAOLO GRASSINO
1967, Turin (Italy)
BIOGRAPHY
Paolo Grassino was born in Turin, Italy, in 1967.
With his work offers a thought on the drift of the modern society, suspended on the edge
between natural and artificial. His work is moreover a research that regains the fullest sense
of manual skill: Grassino cut strips of synthetic rubber with which he covers the iron, wood
and polystyrene skeleton of his sculptures. With a slow and patient weaving work the artist
brings his work to a spectacular level. He has exhibited in many private galleries in Italy
and abroad, in many museums and in national and international institution such as Castello
di Rivalta (2010), RISO Museum of Palermo, Palace Bricherasio Foundation in Turin (Armilla,
2005, curated by Guido Curto), the Modern and Contemporary Art Gallery of Turin (Mangiami,
2000, curated by Elena Volpato) and Palazzo della Regione, in 1991, with a solo exhibition,
curated by Luca Beatrice. His work has been featured also at Castello di Rivara-Center of
Contemporary Art (To), at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Saint-Étienne, at the New Orleans Museum of Art, at the Pistoletto Foundation of Biella, at the Center for Contemporary Art Luigi
Pecci (Prato). In 2011 his work was exhibited at MACRO Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome,
at Moscow Biennial and in 2012 at Beufort Triennial in Ostende, Belgium.
