Piergiorgio Colautti
Italian artist
Piergiorgio Colautti (born 16 October 1934) is an Italian modern painter and sculptor. He is known for his own distinctive style, sometimes labelled "Hyperfuturism", in which figurative elements are enmeshed and submerged by symbols reflecting a cold and modern technological world. He lives and works in Rome.
Life and work
Piergiorgio (Pio Giorgio) Colautti was born in a family of sculptors. When the Second World War began, he moved to Veneto where he attended school of design, worked and socialized with the greatest Venetian painters. His works were first introduced to public as part of the exhibitions in Pordenone, Venice and Mestre. Then he took part in exhibitions held in Ancona and Macerata, where he moved in 1955. In 1958, Colautti returned to Rome where he attended Rome's School of Ornamental Art in Via San Giacomo. At the same time, along with other artists, Colautti presented his works in the exposition of Via Margutta.
In Rome his talent was recognized by Alberto Ziveri, who was his tutor and mentor during 5 years.

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
