Born Salvatore Mangione, Salvo came of age as an artist in Turin during the 1960s, a time when the city was home to a vibrant and radical avant-garde community. His oil paintings embrace the aesthetics of traditional art histories, from Giotto and Botticelli to Italian Futurism and Surrealism, employing flat geometric forms and rich colours that draw attention to the artifice of his ethereal landscapes and cityscapes.
