ABOUT
Enzo Barchi was born in Rome where he lives and works. He graduated as Maestro d’Arte of plastic arts at the Istituto d’Arte Edgardo Mannucci di Ancona and went on to study sculpture at Accademia delle Belle Arti di Macerata.
A constant trait in his works is the pursuit of reality in its original form. With "Rasa Mellow" first, "Attrattismo" 2010 and En-Stasi 2017, his investigation into the form of the personal aspect of the infinite, (as relate in the artistic canons, Shilpa Sastra, with "Tribhanga" the triple flex pose and "S Curve" in the Greek canons), assumes a definitive configuration and inclination, that distinguishes his sculptural and pictorial work.
Living and studying in Asram in Italy, USA, During the eighties in one of his sojourns in India, he participated in the realization of eight bronze High reliefs for the Prabhupada Samadhi at Vrindavana. In 2000 in Rome, he conceived and opened the Bhagavat Atheneum – an Indological library, and Bibliothè Gallery.
He has collaborated with important international and roman art institutions such as the Museo Nazionale d’Arte Orientale “Giuseppe Tucci” with which he organised the collective “L’artista come Rishi", with the CRDAV Centro di Ricerca e Documentazione Arti Visive – MACRO with wich he organised the collective “Biblioteca” and with the Rhode Island School of Design Rome with which he cooperated in different exhibitions. Currently he coordinates a series of exhibitions called “Unum: One Artist One Great Work" at Bibliothè gallery.
