Biography of Alfredo Bartolomeoli
The Italian engraver Alfredo Bartolomeoli, a great specialist in woodcut, was born in Urbino in 1950. He graduated in engraving techniques at the Art Institute of Urbino where he attended the master's course in chalcography under the direction of the Urbino masters Castellani, Bruscaglia and Piacesi.
From 1973 to 1978, he worked as a collaborator-printer in a printing house in his hometown and, from 1971, taught at the International Courses of Engraving; from 1984 to 2011, Alfredo Bartolomeoli held the chair of xylography at the Institute of Urbino, where he was, from 2001 to 2010, technical director of the International Summer Courses of Artistic Engraving of Urbino. In 1995 the artist was also a lecturer at the Joan Miro International Graphic Design Foundation in Palma de Mallorca (Spain) and in 2000 he organized a course for students and teachers at the School of Fine Arts in Zaragoza (Spain).
Alfredo Bartolomeoli founded the association "La Luna", which organizes art exhibitions. His own woodcuts are often accompanied by poems by Italian and foreign poets. His works usually represent abstract subjects and landscapes. He lives and works in Urbino where he makes his own prints. In addition to his own prints, the artist has linked his work to many Italian and foreign poets (L. De Giovanni, E. Signoribus, M. Luzzi, P. Volponi, W. Szymborska, etc). Since 2008, Alfredo Bartolomeoli has had numerous solo exhibitions, for example at the Sala comunale of Castelbellino in 2009 or at the Sala Vicenzo Foresi of Civitanova Marche in 2010, and has participated in many group exhibitions (such as the III Triennale Internazionale d'Incisione Gianni Demo, Premio Città di Chieri in 2008, at the exhibition da Urbino a Lodz at the Municipal Gallery of Contemporary Art in Lodz - Poland - in 2008, at Disegno in segno in Fano in 2009, at the 54th Esposizione internazionale d'Arte della Biennale di Venezia in 2011, etc).
