Luciano de Liberato

Luciano de Liberato (born 6 September 1947 in Chieti, Italy) is an Italian painter.
He began working in art in 1975, immediately attracting a lot of interest among the most important Italian art critics and historians (Filiberto Menna, Maurizio Fagiolo dell’Arco, Enrico Crispolti, Marcello Venturoli, Lorenza Trucchi, Gabriele Simongini). He was considered a young master and one of the great Italian colourist painting.
Protagonist in the '80s in European painting, De Liberato has had more than fifty solo exhibitions, including two in the prestigious "Art Basel", in 1983 and 1984.
Since 1990 he has worked in his studio in the Italian province. All his work is created through research cycles.
Since 1994 he has used a unique and very personal language, as well as authentic poetry that avoids fads and mannerist trends.
In 2011 he was invited to the Italian Pavilion (Abruzzo) of the Venice Biennale. In 2012, one of his works, "RED", was chosen as an image of the Lincoln Center Festival in New York City, which gave to his work global renown.
In 2011 he decided to end all links with Italian galleries and has worked exclusively for international outlets.
