Andrea Ravo mattoni
1 artwork(s)Andrea Mattoni was born in Varese on April 7, 1981 in a family of artists: his father Carlo was a behavioral conceptual artist, his uncle Alberto a famous illustrator and his grandfather Giovanni Italo was a painter and author of some of the most important series of Liebig and Lavazza figurines.
Andrea has been drawing since his early years, immersed in an extremely stimulating environment and in 1995 he began his adventure as a graffiti writer, under the pseudonym of Ravo. This activity continued until the early 2000s, when he enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts in Brera, partly abandoning the use of the spray can to devote himself to oil painting and acrylic on canvas. In 2003, he created and founded with some friends THE BAG ART FACTORY space in the Bovisa district, in Milan, which became a real magnet for artists. Later, he became assistant to curator Manuela Gandini at Gigi Rigamonti's Artandgallery in Milan.
At the same time, he began his collaboration as an artist with several art galleries, which led him to deepen his pictorial research and at the same time his spray work, bringing directly to the wall what he had experienced for decades on the canvas.
