BIOGRAPHY
Walter Rindone, (born 9th of June 1986, in Caltagirone, Italy) is a visual artist with a background in experimental printmaking techniques.
He creates his artwork by the use of solely found images, involving image manipulation and image reproduction processes including collage, digital imaging and anastatic printing. He mastered these techniques during his trainee at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź and his doctoral studies at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław.
The basis of his work is a reflection on images as carriers of sensory information and their symbolic nature. As well as the role of images on the diffused aestheticization brought by the ever-accelerating systems of society and the implications that follow. Such reflection culminated in a on ongoing project entitled “The Black Series”, consisting of reinterpretations of images from a 1843 edition of the Bible illustrated by the French artist Paul Gustave Doré.
In 2021 he became part of the Pixel Shapes Collective, a group of multimedia artists focusing on projection mapping and Video Art. He currently lives and works in Wrocław.
