Marco Lodola was born in Dorno (Pavia). He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and Milan, and concluded his studies by discussing a thesis on the Fauves, who – along with Matisse – were to be a point of reference for his work, as well as Fortunato Depero and Beato Angelico. In the early 1980s, around the Luciano Inga Pin Gallery in Milan he founded the Nuovo Futurismo movement with a group of artists, whose critic Renato Barilli was the main theorist. Since 1983, he has exhibited in major Italian and European cities such as Rome, Milan, Florence, Bologna, Lyon, Vienna, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris and Amsterdam. He has participated in exhibitions and projects for major companies. In 1994, he was invited to exhibit by the Government of the People’s Republic of China in the premises of the former archives of the imperial city of Beijing. In 1996, he started working in the USA in Boca Raton, Miami and New York. He has had several collaborations with contemporary writers and musicians.
