Andrea Barzaghi (Monza, 1988) lives and works in Milan. Barzaghi’s pictorial research is characterised by formal heterogeneity – from painting on canvas to installation in which painting ‘expands’ by playing with space, from large format to the intimacy of drawing. His works have been presented at various exhibitions, both group and solo, in Italy and abroad.
Among the most recent are: Le cose che non sappiamo, Romero Paprocki (Paris, 2025); DESIDERIO | Atto II, Société Interludio (Turin, 2024) the collective exhibition Pittura Italiana Oggi at Triennale di Milano (Milan, 2023) and at Premio Cairo (Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Milan, 2023); Andrea Barzaghi | Michele Lombardelli (Cardelli & Fontana, Sarzana, 2023); Volti, Villa del Balbianello (Como, 2023); Spaziotraccia, Museo Andersen (Rome, 2022); DON’T FEAR THE BEAST, Kunstverein Kohlenhof, (Nuremberg, 2022); Assolo#2, Francesca Antonini Arte Contemporanea (Rome, 2022); Milano – Torino, Société Interludio, (Turin, 2021); Through Unfamiliar, Tbilisi History Museum, (Tbilisi, 2019); Superstimulus, A&O Kunsthalle, (Leipzig, 2019); Dozen, Rosenbaum Contemporary, (Boca Raton, Florida, 2018).
