Giuliano Vangi (1931)

Giuliano Vangi

Giuliano Vangi is an Italian sculptor, painter and draftsman.

He uses marble, polychrome wood, stones, bronze, nickel and ivory to create original, diverse and dynamic works. All of Vangi's sculptures are the result of reflections on the human condition, representations of the contemporary human condition, interpreted in terms of loneliness, anxiety and pain. His characters float on a boundless sea where instincts, cowardice, hopes, violence and denial are bubbling and entangled, and they drift aimlessly.

In addition to large-scale social sculptures, Vangie's works include a statue of St. John the Baptist in Florence, a crucifix and new presbytery for Padua Cathedral, a new altarpiece for Pisa Cathedral and an entrance sculpture for the Vatican Museum. Today the artist enjoys a wide international reputation.
