FRANCESCO
BUBBA
BIOGRAPHY
Francesco Bubba was born in Savona, Italy
on July 28th, 1960.
Since his youth, he has had a passion for art and has
been intensely active in his artistic development. In the beginning
of his artistic career, in 1977, he started to sketch pavement drawings
all over Italy: Rome, Florence, Naples, Venice, and Milan.
During the 80’s (in 1982/83) he also painted
London and Paris subway trains as a Pop Artist.
He then devoted his time to artistic restoration of wooden statues ,
and specialized in the painting of landscapes and figurative. He continued
during these years - until 2000 – to paint ancient furniture,
then his passion for ceramics brought him to work in various pottery
laboratories in Albisola – Italy, one of the world known centres
of faience in Europe.
In 2003, Francesco opened his own laboratory and started
his artist’s path through informal abstract expressionism, introducing
ceramic sculptures on painted canvas. The purpose is the evolution of
modern arts: he aims to give a form to abstraction and a shape to thought.
Francesco uses gestual art as a background for his
forms, he gives insight into himself through his brushwork and use of
colour and ceramic sculpture.
