Tino Stefanoni (06/07/37 - 02/12/17), born in Lecco, studied at the Liceo artistico Beato Angelico and at the Faculty of Architecture of the Politecnico di Milano. He has been present in the international art world for more than 50 years. Tino Stefanoni's work, while not strictly belonging to that of conceptual art, has in fact always developed in the same area of research. He has always looked at the world of everyday things and objects, proposing them in their most disarming obviousness, like plates of a visual primer or pages of an instruction booklet where images replace words. Unlike the animal and plant worlds that do not pertain to man, the world of things is instead the only tangible sign of his existence, and therefore his property, a trace of his thought and history where art and beauty can be created that are not the art and beauty of nature. It is evident in the research that there is an interest in wanting to present things more than to represent them and, at the same time, to clothe them with subtle irony and magic drawn from an aseptic operation as in a lucid dream.
