Sauro Todaro (1965)
Rome, Miyazaki, Fukuoka, Tokyo.
In 2000, he exhibited in Shibuya, Tokyo, in the studio of journalist and photographer Etsuko Hashimoto. In 2003, he participated in the ARGAM Roman Spring Exhibition. In 2009, he took part in an art exhibition promoted by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage at the Biblioteca Angelica in Rome. In 2011, he contributed his works to the Shut OUT project in collaboration with the Lazio Region. He has continued his exhibitions, some of which have also been hosted at the Centro Direzionale Alitalia. He continues to exhibit in Japan, with several group exhibitions in Kyushu: it was there that he participated in a 2014 exhibition dedicated to tropical typhoons.
He has combined his artistic training, which he completed at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, with significant involvement in street culture.
More than the repeated tag or the multicolored and intertwined compositions of graffiti artists, he is interested in the insignificant sign and the chromatic action of the unknown wild stylist.
In his new works, his palette is more restrained, focusing more on fields of white and harmonies of moving colors.
The search for light is a dominant motif, creating an atmosphere, a pure space.
His recent interest in the phenomena of light and its manifestation has led him to a pared-down and unique way of painting.
Gradual changes over time have removed colors and shapes from his paintings.
Space is seen as a unity defined through the sensitive reductions in tone.
He has exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions, both nationally and internationally.
He lives and works between Italy and Japan.
