Through dense materiality, irregular gestures, and a palette in constant metamorphosis, Valiante seeks to translate existential sensations into visceral, unstable compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiving and making art on the street has profoundly shaped his sensibility. The contradictions and vulnerabilities of urban life inform a practice that depicts the fragility of contemporary society through the use of industrial paints, reclaimed supports, and rudimentary tools. Raw surfaces and discarded materials confront the refinement of oil painting, producing a visual language that renders harsh realities through poetic and emotionally charged forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecent works incorporate fragments of furniture and abandoned architectural elements that transform into anthropomorphic presences — allegories for a contemporary condition shaped by consumerism, disposability, and the blurred overlap between physical and digital realities. Across the practice runs a persistent investigation into the paradox of progress: systems that simultaneously build and collapse, reducing the human figure to something vulnerable, transient, and expendable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValiante completed an Art High School Diploma at Suor Orsola Benincasa, Naples, Italy (2014–2019).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecent exhibitions include \u003cem\u003eLimen\u003c\/em\u003e at the Banco di Napoli Foundation, Naples (2026); \u003cem\u003eLe Banquet\u003c\/em\u003e at A.MORE Gallery Milano, Milan (2025); \u003cem\u003ePunti Di Vista\u003c\/em\u003e at Gazometro, Rome (2025); \u003cem\u003eThe Voyage Out\u003c\/em\u003e at A.MORE Gallery Milano (2024); and \u003cem\u003eUnder Raffaello\u003c\/em\u003e at Galleria Albani, Urbino (2024).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis work is held in the MU.RO Collection, Milan, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AOAP Projects","offers":[{"title":"No insurance (+£0)","offer_id":57733093589366,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK insurance (+£15)","offer_id":58013649863030,"sku":null,"price":915.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Europe insurance (+£25)","offer_id":57987661365622,"sku":null,"price":925.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rest of World insurance (+£35)","offer_id":57987661398390,"sku":null,"price":935.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2714\/0060\/files\/124.VittorioValiante-SwitchOn.jpg?v=1779285555","url":"https:\/\/aoapprojects.com\/products\/vittorio-valiante-switch-on","provider":"AOAP Projects ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
