Stefano Bosis

Stefano Bosis was born in Milan, Italy. Even at an early age Bosis gravitated toward performance and visual art. After attending courses in theatre and painting, he left Italy at the age of 19 to make his stage debut as an actor in England. As a genuine and curious polymath, Bosis tried his hand at portraiture as a charming street artist in Barcelona, and then returned to Italy to work as a firefighter. From there, Bosis went on to study digital communication at the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, and thereafter gained experience as a TV and film actor, 3D artist and content manager. Painting, however, has remained a core passion - a point of origin to which he can always return. He officially showed his work for the first time at the Contemporary Art Fair in Reggio Emilia, in 2008.

Bosis’ grid category painting series organizes various interests in which he explores a comparison of commodities. He visually presents a collection of weapons in the same way as he presents a grid of delicious looking, although alas non-edible dishes - out of which arises an ironic consumerism between abundant excess and unrequited need.
