À cette occasion sera présentée « La Peinture au-dessus de tout », 200 x 200 cm, 2009, collection Philippe Austruy, une œuvre singulière dans mon parcours que je considère comme un exergue de mon rapport à la peinture : une traversée entre peinture, espace et métamorphose, annonçant des territoires que mon travail allait explorer par la suite, notamment dans sa relation à l’espace, envisagé ici comme un territoire vivant à traverser et à habiter.

Gianfranco Meggiato was born on August 26, 1963, in Venice where he attended the Istituto Statale d’Arte studying sculpture in stone, bronze, wood, and ceramics. In his work, Meggiato looks to the great masters of the 20th century: Brancusi for his search for essentiality, Moore for the internal-external relationship of his maternities, and Calder for the openness to space of his works.

Space, in fact, enters Meggiato’s works and the void becomes as important as the full. The essential is invisible to the eyes: you cannot touch ideals, feelings, dreams, you can only live them. The artist models his sculptures taking inspiration from biomorphic tissue and the labyrinth, which symbolizes man’s tortuous path aimed at finding himself and revealing his own precious inner sphere. Meggiato thus invents the concept of “introsculpture” in which the observer’s gaze is drawn towards the interiority of the work, not limiting itself only to the external surfaces. “On a formal level, space and light do not border the work, they slide over it as if it were an object in the round, and pe*****te its interior, wrapping lattices and tangles, reaching the point of illuminating the central sphere as the ideal point of arrival.”

Since 1998, he has been invited to exhibit in museums, galleries, and public squares all over the world: USA, Canada, Great Britain, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Holland, France, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Principality of Monaco, Ukraine, Russia, India, China, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, South Korea, Singapore, Taipei, Australia.

He has also been invited to exhibit at the 54th and 55th VENICE BIENNALE in the national pavilions (2011-2013) and at MANIFESTA12 (2018).……

Padua has a clear desire: that « The Kiss of Judas » not remain a temporary episode, but become an integral and permanent part of the urban fabric.
Dal 2 ottobre 2025 al 4 maggio 2026, Padova ospita la mostra diffusa “Il Bacio di Giuda“, il ritorno alla plasticità. Gianfranco Meggiato: un omaggio a Giotto”, curata da Jon Wood e Nicola Galvan, promossa dal Comune di Padova e organizzata con la Fundación de Arte y Cultura Gianfranco Meggiato. Quattordici sculture monumentali dialogano con gli affreschi della Ca****la degli Scrovegni, dove Giotto nel Trecento riportò i suoi personaggi a una nuova plasticità ispirandosi alla classicità romana. Meggiato raccoglie quell’eredità e la rilancia nel presente.
