Umberto Giovannini

Umberto Giovannini was born in 1969 in Morciano di Romagna, Italy. He lives and works in Italy and London.
His practice is driven by his interest in the changing, floating contemporary world, whether in its social or environmental aspects, and by investigation of personal perceptions of contemporary life through images that resonate with a collective memory. Giovannini sees making art as a crucial relationship between thought and constant practice of one’s craft, and has worked for the past twenty years with a number of disciplines, among which printmaking has emerged as his primary instrument for investigating reality. His works – prints, installations, artists’ books – have been exhibited internationally. 
Since the mid-1990s, he has combined his visual art practice with performing arts, cinema and music. Those parallel pathways have deeply influenced his approach to making and exhibiting his works, while at the same time the need to delve into experiences and environments radically removed from his ordinary life has pushed him to design and complete a variety of solo and group projects.
In 2009 he founded the Opificio della Rosa, a low environmental impact printmaking centre in Italy and since 2016 he has been president of the Renate Herold Czaschka Foundation, dedicated to printmaking and artists’ books. 
His practice is complemented with teaching on BA courses in Graphic Design and Printmaking, and he is currently Lecturer in Graphic Communication Design at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.
