Born in 1987, Edoardo Tresoldi grew up in Milan where, at the age of 9, experimented different languages and techniques under the guidance of painter Mario Straforini. In 2009 he moved to Rome and started to work in various creative areas. Cinema, music, scenography and sculpture gave him a heterogeneous vision of arts and became a platform for experimentation; “back in the days when I was a scenographer, I made use of wire mesh to build the structures of set designs. I started to think about its own poetics dimension, so intimate and imaginative, and little by little it became an artistic research fully-evolved in an independent career.”
Edoardo Tresoldi plays with the transparency of mesh and with industrial materials to transcend the time-space dimension and narrate a dialogue between Art and World. Part architecture, part artwork, part hallucination, his ethereal constructions immerse the visitor into a dream-like environment that demands to be mentally re-constructed rather than visually consumed.
Since 2013, he performs public space interventions, focusing his research on genius loci and the study of landscape elements. His works have been featured in public spaces, archaeological contexts, contemporary art and music festivals and group shows.
In 2017 he has been included by Forbes among the 30 most influential European artists under 30. Edoardo Tresoldi has won numerous awards such as Gold Medal for Italian Architecture in 2018, Argos Hippium Award in 2017, Riccardo Francovich Archaeological Prize in 2016, Re Manfredi Special Culture Prize in 2016, etc.
