Lives and works in Fermo

Riccardo Angelini is a visual artist who graduated in 2007 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. His thesis, titled La forma nell’informe (Form within the Formless), explored the themes of perception and the psychology of form through a comprehensive overview of the "stain" (macchia) in art.
The following year, he was selected to exhibit in the Bologna group show Unicef chiama Arte (Unicef calls Art), alongside Concetto Pozzati and other professors from the Bolognese Academy—an early recognition of his artistic research.
He held his first solo exhibition in Bologna, presenting the cycle Nuova Photodinamica Futurista (New Futurist Photodynamics, 2010). That same year, his work was featured in the Paris group exhibition Dessines (Galerie Gimpel et Müller).
In 2011, he moved to Paris, where he held the solo exhibitions La Monstreuse Parade (2012) and L’anello mancante (The Missing Link, 2014) at Galerie Flaq. Through this gallery, he also had the opportunity to exhibit in Milan at Circus Studios and in Salerno at the Laboratorio dei pensieri scomposti (2014-2015). Other significant milestones during his time in Paris included the group shows Inachevé (Incomplete) and Hic est sanguinis meus (2017).
In 2018, he returned to Italy to participate in the Rimini Drawing Biennale, titled Visibile invisibile - Desiderio e Passione (Visible Invisible - Desire and Passion), an event he would return to in 2019 and 2020. Also in 2018, he took part in the Festival of Philosophy in Modena with the solo exhibition Frammenti (Fragments), centered on the theme of truth. After resettling in Moresco, he showcased the solo exhibition Pure Graphite at TOMAV.
His works have also been exhibited in Naples, Turin, Forlì, Rome, and Milan—notably at the Fabbrica del Vapore in 2021 and, in 2024, at the Galleria Raffaella De Chirico, alongside historic masters of the caliber of Alberto Burri and Hans Hartung.

Today, the artist lives and works in Moresco, collaborating with various national and international institutions in the art and culture sectors. He continues to investigate form in constant evolution through painting, as well as photography, audiovisual media, and sculpture.
