Ludovico Grantaliano
Ludovico Grantaliano is a Rome based artist and designer, born in Rome in 1991.
He graduated in architecture at the University of Roma Tre after
a year of studies in Portugal at the Universidade do Porto. He opened his studio in Rome after several experiences in artists' and architects' studios.
All his research is permeated by the relationship with nature.
He is particularly interested in seeking a symbiosis between
what might be considered artificial, and therefore technological and measured, and the world of nature, imperfection, and undesignable forms. His way of working is to insert undesignable shapes and elements into highly designed and measured systems. These elements and forms are taken from the outside and incorporated into the project precisely to achieve results that are unpredictable and unmanageable, both functionally and formally. These elements, that often take the form of natural fragments, do not have a decorative function but a real structural function.
In his work, there is a tension towards lightness and suspension, towards the removal of weight, the stripping away of mass, the reduction of forms and elements to a minimum, the use of balance using only the force of gravity as support.
His interest is to generate a relationship and a possible symbiosis between natural and artificial shapes and materials, and thus investigate the relationship between man and the environment.
He has participated in in various exhibitions including, Alcova Milano Design Week 2024, West Bund Art and Design Fair 2024 in Shanghai, Lamps at Oxilia Gallery in Milan 2024-25, Edit Napoli 2023, Genoa and Palermo Design Week.
