BIO
Richard Journo | Born in Tripoli, Libya in 1958 to an Italian family, Richard Journo has dedicated much of the last 20 years to the collective arts, producing musical projects, directing documentaries and short films. Using this broad spectrum of experience, he has developed a subjective style which is illustrated in his work - producing large format contemporary digital visual art, plotter printed on adhesive film and mounted on aluminium boxes.

Richard Journo has two styles: abstract and figurative, the former is elaborated from a blank canvas and the latter incorporates 4-5 different film frames creating movement within a still picture. Most of his work is produced in a series of three and some pieces include original poetry.

"It's all about emotions, behind my work there is a continuous struggle between the obscure side of my life, the asking of what is the unknown and the spirit of research that makes me look at forms and colours and put them under a spotlight.

Richard Journo | Born in Tripoli, Libya in 1958 to an Italian family, Richard Journo has dedicated much of the last 20 years to collective arts, producing music projects, directing documentaries and short films. Using this broad spectrum of experience, he has developed a subjective style which is illustrated in his work - installations, videos and large format digital arts.
Richard's work tackles issues concerning serialisation, uniformity, codification as they unfold in our technological world as opposed to freedom and individuality. The artist explores the tension between these two poles through digital art, not only because IT is the medium that almost everybody in our post-industrial society uses in the course of their normal life, but also because it allows a self referential and paradoxical discourse. Richard Journo investigates the ethics of codification from encrypted codes to behaviour codes, many of his works picture a colour barcode seen as the symbol of serialisation applied to consumerism just as the hammer and sickle was the emblem of the communist totalitarian regime.

The exhibition is curated by Simona Cresci and Domenico Giglio
