Paolo Cassarà was born in 1968 in Monreale (Pa). He lives and works in Milan since 1987 when he began his artistic career. He held his first solo exhibitions in Turin, Milan and Boston (USA).
From the beginning Cassarà was inspired by an everyday imagination, especially female figures, which the artist was able to reread through the traditional technique of polychrome terracotta, renewing the codes and reinterpreting the iconographic references. For the artist the road is a source of inspiration, through ironic and subtly melancholy works he reveals the search for an identity in front of a system dominated by conformism and ephemeral fashions. Models, actresses, starlettes, DJs, travelers and managers are the protagonists of his sculptures, they represent the reference models of a widespread and pervasive aesthetic in continuous transformation, as fashion in the modern consumer society.
