Oltre
Robert Bosisio
3rd - 31st October, 2023

104GALERIE (Tokyo, Nakameguro) is holding “Oltre” , a solo exhibition by Robert Bosisio from the 3rd to the 31th of October
2023. This exhibition, his third at the gallery, two and a half years after the previous one, will introduce large-scale worksof over four meters with the motif of clouds, alongside other small and medium-sized new pieces from the interior series
centering on the indoor scenery in his mindʼ s eye.
Bosisioʼ s studio stands in Trodena, in the Tirol region of northern Italy. Close to the borders of Switzerland, Germany, andAustria it is located in the Alps, where mystical views of fog often spread outside the windows. In this place, surroundedby nature, Bosisio carefully produces his art, while checking how his pieces work in the natural light and from diﬀerent
distances. His explorative painting seems to grow out of the deep and quiet environment there. His work conveys thedepth of his exploration and traces of the time he spends in this environment.
From the surface of the work, we see beautiful layers formed of various materials such as ash, tempera, wax, sand, andplaster overlaying one another. Viewing his portrait series the outlines surface vaguely, and you experience the passingof calm, comfortable time as though afterimages of your memories are arising. The interior series that Bosisio has been
producing since early in his career reveal diﬀerent parts, lines, and colors emerging to create a complex three-dimensional
space.
“Oltre” is an Italian word meaning “beyond” or “further.” Bosisioʼ s paintings enable us to recognize not only what is being
depicted, but also a certain presence of what is invisible beyond it.
This title expresses the imaginary world that spreads widely beyond the painting space ‒ Robert Bosisioʼ s art itself.
We hope many people are drawn into it through this exhibition.

̲Robert Bosisio was born in 1963 in Trodena, northern Italy. Since graduating from The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna he has
been producing his art in Berlin, NY, and London. He is currently based in Trodena. He has held solo exhibitions in a range ofinstitutions including the Museum Art Center Hugo Voeten in Antwerpen (Belgium, 2014), and Museul de Arta ‒ Art MuseumCluj-Napoca (Romania, 2010), as well as in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and the United States. In 2011, he was awarded
La Fenice Prize in Venice, and he exhibited his work in the Italian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in the same year. In 2020
he was selected as one of the ﬁnalists of the BP Portrait Award 2020 (UK), and is highly acclaimed worldwide. He recently
held his ﬁrst exhibition in China in a gallery in Shenzhen, which was well received.
